Not my coin, nor am I connected in any way to it, but Id love to own it!

Since Im currently undertaking a major collection, it will be some time before I actively go searching for one of these for my type set, but what are some of the SLQ guys thoughts on this coin?

As soon as I saw it, it stood out to me more so than any other SLQ in recent memory...


Thanks in advance for any insight.

    I'd pass.

    It doesn't look 65 to my eyes.

    It's definitely a pretty one.

    While the grade is important to some, Im more of an eye appeal guy. I dont know the series well enough to say what the grade is or isnt, but I do like the look and color of the coin. The strike doesnt seem to weak, but the head is softer than Id like for my example.

    What would be your thoughts on this coin if it were in a 64 holder?

    I like that patina.

    The head, while not 100% fully struck, offers 95% full detail

    Looks very much like a PCGS MS64 that Premium Numismatics had for sale a lil over a year ago...

    I'll have to check if I still have the image saved to one of my PC's image

    IMHO I would not pay 65 price for the coin.

    I'm not in any way an expert but it just doesn't look like a "gem" to my eyes.
    63 and maybe 64 for me.
