Gold closed at about 2650 today. I think 2750 would be fair for both of you. It’s a nice, near gem, in an old fatty, so it’s worth a mere $100 premium and is certainly acceptable, IMHO.

Does the "old fatty" NGC slab bring a premium when it's damaged? The hologram is half missing which is a distraction when viewing the reverse side of the slab. Also, since CAC refused to bean it, can you really call it "near gem" without viewing it in hand?

Your points are valid but being that it's certified 64 by NGC; I feel it deserves to be priced, at least, a little over spot. $100 is less than 4% which is very minimal.

I have had no trouble getting CPG (sometimes more) for nice Classic US Gold coins. For retail inventory / I cherry-pick them for quality. The difference between an average quality piece and one that is PQ can be light years.

Or this, I didn’t count them though. You could count the spears easy enough I suppose

Or this, especially if you include the ones on the rectangle on the obverse bottom, see enlarged images below the obverse and reverse images

Here is another one of his coins.

Great piece @boiler78!

Finally got to looking up the TrueView for your Brand-Pogue coin! Amazing to think about how much history this coin has both before and after Virgil! Thanks for sharing it!

Or maybe this

Maybe this one?

However, my very old friend Elliot the ginger cat took a turn for the worse. At least I was given the chance to say goodbye. Oct. 8th 2002 -- Dec. 12th 2024.

You have my sincerest condolences! We've had as many as ten cats at once, but currently only have three. 22 years is quite the life for a feline! We've had two reach 16, but none exceed it yet. I pray that our remaining ones do. I've often heard said that ginger cats are the best cats. The two I've had have been wonderful. Sam passed away at 16 and Max is still plugging along at 10.

Fact: I met Andy many years ago at a trade and grade in Vegas, and I always have wanted to go back and have dinner with him.
