PCGS65, asking $750, REDUCED to $625 Yes, it does carry a color premium. Price is in-line with recent auctions of pieces with the CAC sticker, and while this one does not (has it never been for review), it is priced as the PQ piece it is. Part of my buffalo set when it won the 2017 "Best Digital Album of the Year". Imaging done by Crazyhoundog and is a very accurate depiction of the piece in hand.

On the obverse, color progression of green/purple/orange/gold is every bit vivid in hand as it is in the image. The reverse has very pleasant rim toning transitioning into fields toned to very pleasant blue to purple hue. Skin is nice and thick with a very rich luster under the toning. Strike is typical for the grade, and in my experience only becomes readily available nicely struck once you step into the 66/four figure coin range. A super eye appealing piece any way you cut it.

1893 V Nick in PCGS64 ends on 12/9, I would characterize it as a good bit more lusterous and bright than the image reflects, and that the 'splotchy' areas in the image are actually attractive gold tones.

1924-D, asking $55 on hold Crusty original piece. Super crisp lettering and date reflects a somewhat rare early die state. Most would call this full horn, although it appears to me that the very tip is a tad dull.
