OK, It looked neat. I think I'm on this "buy a unique slab kick" thing.
I have no Idea what Early Commemoratives go for and really couldn't care if the grade is close....Well to a degree. I'd probably like to sell it one day. So I hope I didn't spend to much.... At least there was another Ebayer trying to snipe this puppy.
See, I start reading Conder's book and now stuff that I didn't know about peaks my intrest and empties my wallet...

How come your coin is rotated and the picture is not
Actually, I think it's a inetresting slab. I'll probably be looking for different one soon.

I'd like to think that ACG rotated the coin in the slab to celebrate Columbus' crossing of the rotating planet, but this is probably giving them too much credit for imagination. Most likely, the photo had to fit in a flat, rectangular insert, and the photographer took more time than the slab assembler.
More recently, ACG has used plastic "nibs" to keep the coins from rotating in their non-photo slabs. This is a practice ACG feels they must point out on their eBay "about me" page to newbies who might think the nibs are rim nicks.
I've got the same one with a vam 1 and no I didn't pay $250, that sticker was on it when I got it.
