Slabbed 25th Anniversary Sets - Silver American Eagle 
  I wonder how many unslabbed of these sets remain. There were only 100K made and one major grading service has certified over 25K of them. I only have access to one of the census sites. dennis

I have a error question 
  Dug out all the old tubes of Kennedy's I had tucked away in the safety box with the idea it might be time to sell some of the 40% stuff.
