Out of the blue agentjim007 contacted me and asked me if I wanted to buy this piece that he had outbid me on about 2 months ago. No hesitation whatsoever on my part, and I'm extremely grateful that he gave me the chance to buy it. 
I received the coin today and it's utterly amazing. Color notwithstanding, this piece is the perfect example of why AU58s are so great. Sans the rub on the cheek and jawbone, this coin has the characteristics of a much higher grade. Infinitely better technically (IMO) than what you see on an MS60-62, most of which tend to be trashed.
What I hadn't realized was just how tiny the mintage on this piece was: 45,000 pieces.
This piece is now one of the centerpieces of my toner collection.
Thanks again, Jim!
