Hokiefan, Awesome diligence Your tracking abilities are exceptional...
Classic examples sell for Exceptional prices.
While I see this post, I am concerned that people buying into a " green bean " are Not buying
just the residents inside, They Are buying the
beaned Slab... Why not!!

I have been a strong advocate for obtaining raw Coins and Currency.
Along the way I have found that Value in coins are Well supported, When encapsulated in a slab vs raw in an auction setting, Not to say the raw examples will not speak for themselves outside a slab being original examples, Just Very interesting to note the results.
Here like Magic, Three months later nothing has changed Except a small green label has become attached , and sold for 2.4 times .

Would a seller Not prefer to collect all they can on the investments or Sales of their coins too. I have seen Discussions about the topic for Decades, Buy the coin, Not the slab. These results prove Me Wrong....
