This is what started it all for me. Bought it raw on a whim in 1988 at a local coin show. I was lured by the detail and the strike. It's been in a NGC fattie for 20 yrs. Finally decided to cross with truview. It's not the prettiest, but it will always be my first

Very good buy in 1988. Thank the lord you didn't buy it in 2008. You saved yourself a few $k. Very nice.

It did cross at same although I thought it had a shot at RB (as Matt pointed out). Thanks for the kudos.
