Same coin or different coin? I think it's the same coin. Brought $2990 in the Jules Reiver sale in Jan. 2006. It will be interesting to see what it brings on ebay, uncertified. You'll have to log in to view the Heritage auction (sorry). I don't want to post the photos here, since they aren't mine and I don't know the seller, so here are links to the two auctions.

    Looks to be the same coin. Contact marks above the head line up.

    Same coin IMO.

    The Heritage auction mentions some heavy hairlining and smoothing in the left obverse field. I can see it in their photo, but not in the current seller's photo.
