Oh yes I am. I ain't gonna divulge it or I'll jinx sumpin, but I bin wantin one and now I got one on da line an it's gonna be my LAST ONE.

I will simply LOOK it to death. Maybe UNTIL death.

Look for a new icon coin coming soon.

But I will be DONE. NO MORE.

    I know the feeling. After I just got my 1877 IHC last month, all but finishing my XF/AU Indian collection, I feel like I've bought the last significant coin in my collection for a while...this buy has me eating ramen noodles and turkey franks until October, I think. But then I look at her and get happy again. image

    Thanks. I hope you at least got VF-30 on yours, though. If not, I think you got ripped. That's very close to XF except that the ribbon and lower hair curl have merged. That area on my coin is just barely separated -- hence justifying the XF-40 grade from NGC, at least according to Fly-In Club standards -- but other than that, in terms of detail, it looks very close to being the equal of my XF coin.

    Okay, VF-35 would have been my guess, but 30 wouldn't have been ridiculous. It *better* be at least 30.

    Had they said VF-20, it would have been time to scream bloody murder. Or crackout and resubmit.
