<< <i>Did I pay too much for it? My Krause has a list price of $40. >>
If you got it for $30 (or what, $34 after shipping?), I'd say you did just fine, if the Krause UNC price is $40. Krause UNC is usually a price for a "generic" (MS60-63 quality) UNC coin, so if you got an MS64 for less than the generic UNC price, and in a PCGS slab to boot, I fail to see how you could lose. (Granted, the demand for these is probably not terribly high, but I think you did great.)
CA please put a picture of that coin up when you receive it. It was on my tracking page but no bid was placed. Deep remorse had fell upon myself because two other coins were lost to a sniper minutes before this one ended.
French Indo-china does not require an enormous amount of coins for a good type set-I'm talking about 19th century, not 20th century, but they can get expensive in high grades.
14 coins in all, other than Piedforts and Essais. I've wanted to put this set together for a while but the 20 and 50 cents in high grades are beyond my means...

Scares to boot - but that would make sense. I've had a few pass through but all bore some fatal flaw, typically harshly cleaned/whizzed. Had a heck of a time finding original Piastres as well for the same reason.
