I have been hunting for a nice FH dollar for 10 years now....seen only 2 I would have bought before this one and didn't manage to win those...so this one I bid big and won. Excited to have this as a cornerstone in my collection. Also...SUPER PQ for a 55...no adjustment marks, no distractions, great original non-dipped surfaces...and wonderful strike for the type....I am in love.

Wow, what a stunner. The toning is perfect & I like how liberty is highlighted thanks to the toning.
Congrats!
That looks wonderful!

Very nice coin! Congrat on landing her.
It took me 35 years of wanting one to finally afford and find my Fine, so can only imagine the satisfaction of owning a solid AU
Well done!

Beautiful coin!!!
Beyond white whale material. This one is so special at 55, it needs no introductions.
Wondering if it is beaned, it sure looks PQ, and well graded overall as is. Just wow!
And a very nice one. Cognations
Hoard the keys.

I don't post much, but WOW, that's a nice one. Would like to add an affordable VF example to my collection someday.
Stunning. Gorgeous. That’s the sort of coin to go for. Patience.................. is a virtue.

Breathtaking! If I ever had the opportunity to acquire one I'd want it to look like that!
Very, very nice coin. Common variety but who cares! (No, I'm not going to quibble about the "AU" grade on this one. The photos suggest the coin is really AU!)
Wow, that’s a beauty!
Talk about eye appeal!
Congrats!!

That is a "Box of 1" coin. Thank you for sharing.

Well, that has sure been on MY want list for a while.
So dang sweet it hurts.
I need to find more superlatives.
The ones I know don't do that piece justice.

Holy cow, that is a gorgeous piece, congratulations !!!
Killer example, congrats again @Senator32!
What an amazing looking piece.
A classic example of grade being secondary to eye appeal.
I am sure there are some graded higher that don't look nearly as good.
wow that's an unbelievable coin. I will have to check your you tube handle to see if you have made a video about it. killer content!
Love it. Great detail and color.
Many successful BST transactions with dozens of board members, references on request.
It must be immensely satisfying to fill that hole in your collection.
if I owned only one coin....that one would do nicely......Congrats!!!
That's great

Beautiful coin @Senator32! Glad to see that you finally got "the one" that you have been hunting all of these year!
Congrats on finding such a beautiful coin!
Great coin for sure. Congratulations is definitely in order.
I want it! Would you consider selling to me at a discount to the purchase price? Had to ask...
Dream coin for sure, congrats.
Later, Paul.
