People on this forum claim that they remember seeing this coin from like 20 years ago.

Never seen it before. But it's nice, I like it.

Did it get a Star designation at NGC ??

ANACONDA · September 30, 2006 10:06AM

If I remember correctly, yes.

LeeG · September 30, 2006 10:54AM

Super Nice example

Adrian, wasn't that a couple of years ago? Regardless, why bring it up now?

roadrunner · September 30, 2006 11:20AM

3 years? How many times did it get tried before it finally crossed?

It's ok

Because three years ago there were about half the members we have now; many people have not seen what I think is a very cool, interesting and somewhat controversial coin.

It was sent in once.

I remember that one......didn't it belong to a board member ??

Which means it can't possibly be artificially toned...............

I bought it from a board member sold it to another board member who crossed it, paid him a ten thousand dollar profit and then sold it to a California collector with probably the largest commem collection - over five hundred classic commems, all toned, many of them spectacularly toned and all graded by either PCGS or NGC.

I originally bought that coin from it's longtime owner back at a FUN Show over 5 years ago. I had alot of varying opinions on the coin when PCGS did not cross it after 3 tries. I sold it to someone in the know on toned commems, he did a walkthru regrade at a major show and it did not cross so he returned it to me for his money back and I gave it to him. I would say that was the most controversial coin I have ever owned in my life.

What would we do without NGC?

I remember that one, great toning, great coin.

I hear NGC slabbed coins are sold on Coin Vault a lot

It looks extremely funky to me in photo, but what do I know?
