On March 17, 2006, I wrote ...

I guess if I'd been on sharper lookout I might have paid less for the same coin a few months ago, but oh well. I kept my eyes open for 2 years for a lower-grade Isabella with a look I liked. Saw this one & just had to... arrived today. Luminous & fun.

I still like this coin.

Neat coin and nicer than many of the Uncs I have seen.

That's a coin I've long wanted and yours looks to be a superb example.

I agree with RYK, your coin is prettier than many UNCs I've seen. Superb pickup!

They are hard to find without really ugly patina, this one is the exception, looks real nice!-------------BigE

nothing
(If you can't say something nice, say nothing).

Look, MBT, I didn't say "Say something nice," I said "What do you think." You've already said you have something not-nice to say, so -- let's hear it. I make no claim this is a 'perfect coin' or anything, so -- what don't you like?

If you really believed what your post insinuates, you just wouldn't have posted at all. So show some cojones. What's your beef?

OK, fair enough

on't like the wear, don't like the color, don't like "the look", and don't like the coin (or any circulated commem for that matter). Other than that, it's a fantastic example for those who are so inclined (to each his/her own). Enjoy your treasure!

I like the Manofcoins thread from the past, when he was called out on the carpet for doctoring coins, and then he tried to cover it up by deleting threads in a frenzy.

This was one of my favorite threads of all times.
We will be celebrating the ten year anniversary of its last appearance.
