Yowza.

I guess someone may pay it. Link. It looks like the eagle is being attacked by killer bees.

    It won't be me paying that much for ANY coin.

    I realize that the coin is a great condition rarity, but shouldn't eye-appeal count for something?

    Not when playing the registry set game. Its only the holder that counts.

    I'm certainly not a grading expert by any means, but MS68? It's a lousy strike & looks AU. All the high points look
    to have wear. MS Zero in eye appeal.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    This is the second thread I've seen on this, and it's funny how the opinions are mostly negative this time. I think I was one of the few naysayers on the other thread.

    I agree- not much eye appeal. Dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks, though.

    Agreed, looks like NGC really messed this one up (by at least 10 probably 13 points.)

    FatMan,
    To me the holder scores, the coin counts.

    I find this coin unattractive. If I owned it, I would sell it for the best price I could get.
