For a minute there I thought you were watching this auction possibly to buy until I saw the coin.

Historically, that coin has been called mishandled.

Nice.

The 1885 PR64 PCGS realized $1,320,000. Seems a little low, or not?

Seems about right to me. It probably would have brought 10-20% more a year ago, but it does not strike me as a bargain today.

Darn, I didn't even know it was up for auction. I know I had a few dollars laying around to bid on it.

The Norweb coin was a cigar smoked hairlined 61. This coin was always ranked below it. For what it’s worth.

Not having seen it in person, I can only pass on historical rankings.
