Latest eBay pickup - yeah I probably paid a bit too much

Latest eBay pickup. Probably paid a bit too much ($250) but I was looking for an MS67FB Mercury type coin with some color for around that price range and it fit the bill

    Some color and a CAC sticker, I see minimal downside. Nice pickup.

    Looks great!

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    How does the TV compare to the actual coin?

    Right - Glam pics - vs - in hand coin. I never understood why some get so excited over the pictures but never show the real coin. Feel free to pile on..............

    I love electric toning like that.

  • crazyhounddogcrazyhounddog Posts: 13,998 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Looks nice enough for me to make the cut.
    I like as a great addition to your collection, my coin brother 👍

    Nice coin, congrats

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Well... you stated the grade you wanted and color - seems you were successful. The pleasure of a coin that pleases you, outlasts the concern of the price. Cheers, RickO

    @Paradisefound @Steven59 @DisneyFan got the coin today. Gorgeous! The TV actually doesn't do it justice. The single image that tries to get all characteristics of the coin all at once (strike/color/luster) misses a lot. Like a lot of multicolored coins it needs to be viewed under different light angles to get the full effect. VERY happy with the coin and the price I got it for!

    Cf $185. What u pd imo your money, call. Not a toner expert however if its what you like go for it. Bid competition on toners can be tough.

    Appears to be a solid coin for the grade, and with that kind of color and a bean, a 50% premium is not unheard of. I am out of date with Winged Lib' pricing, but I suspect that is probably the about the right price for anyone to be the next owner (other than a bargain price based on sheer luck).
