#1 PCGS MS64 1795 $5

Coin #1 sold for $345K at last year's FUN. I don't know anything of #2s provenance.

Who is John Galt?

    I'm not that picky when it comes to the 1795 $5 coins. Either one will do.

    I'd rather have the prooflike coin - something about proof finish from the 1700's is just too darn cool. image

    Whassup with Heritage calling the 64 'third finest known' when there's 8 gems between PCGS and NGC? image

    Obviously their reasoning is that there are two 65s at PCGS and the 65s at NGC would only be 63s at PCGS. image

    I really would not be buying a $250k-$500k from a auction picture....but offhand the NGC looks more original

    If they would knock a couple of zeros off the price tag I would be all over it. I like the clean look of the PCGS 64 myself.
