Not sure what to buy; 2013 Sacagawea

I really like the reverse on the 2013 Sacagawea dollar, and want to get a nice one for display. Ideally I would find a high resolution copy of the artwork, get a large size reverse and smaller obverse, and then frame with a quality proof showing the reverse.

While I don't care if the coin is slabbed and graded, I do want a nice looking coin. This will be displayed on the wall without much close inspection, so no need to shell out the big bucks for PF70 over PF69. Looks like most of these coins go for about $15 on ebay as PF69 slabbed.

Any advice on building a display piece such as this?

You might buy a mint set and you can fill all the 2013 folder holds.http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=10435&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=10201

United States Mint uncirculated coins are struck on special presses using greater force than circulating coins, producing a sharp, intricately detailed image. The coins are sealed in blisters and displayed in folders.

Full mint set would be $32, more than the ebay $15 for a single single Sacagawea. I don't want the others, and may have a hard time reselling them unless I pay extra for the silver proofs.

I've noticed with a lot of these there are quite a few minting issues, espeically with the edge lettering.

Odd wavyness to the outer edge lettering. There are definitely going to be more than a few varieties from what I can tell.
