They don't get terribly much better than that!

I've seen maybe 2-3 with slightly more red, but not nearly as well struck.

I'll give you $25 for it.

Kidding aside lads, how difficult would it be to locate another as nice? Do they trade? Anybody have one? Anybody seen one?

If I had one, I'd be keeping it

I've seen a few, always outbid though. As far as early to mid 18th century copper goes, these are more common in higher grades than most other types out there. You probably could find one marginally nicer, but since finding them is either a matter of luck or a lot of work (there is no one dedicated source) you never know when that one will come around. So... if you like this type, buy it and upgrade later. I don't know date/variety/etc scarcity, but in general these are fairly affordable in my experience, with an average sell-price in the neighborhood of $80, +/-.
