proofreader Valued Member United Kingdom 216 Posts	Posted 10/09/2015 4:54 pm Living in the UK it is not that easy to source quality USA coins locally (especially slabbed coins which seem to be disliked over here). A couple of days ago I spotted a couple of slabbed halves appear on ebay, I sent a message to the seller, a deal was struck with a very nice gentleman, and this morning the postman brought me all of this: Up to this point I didn't have any slabbed halves, now I have nine.

proofreader Valued Member United Kingdom 216 Posts	Posted 10/09/2015 5:25 pm Thanks A little searching through ebay sold items for similar coins tells me that if I bought them all individually I'd be looking at more than double, plus an awful lot of shipping costs from the USA Report this Post to the Staff
