My only 2012 FUN purchase - updated with my pics - comparison

Heritage pics.
I will image once received.
Something about the color I liked. Payed kind of strong, $2 less than PCGS price guide including the buyers premium.
I liked the color, grade: 67+ and green bean, & label - Guttag Family, so I'm quite happy, especially since it is going into the SDB, never to be
sold. (By me anyway.)

I like it! The reverse look like it might have that cool, opalescent toning.

I'll bet it looks a lot nicer in hand than in those pics. I like it, congrats.

Gorgeous coin.

Additionally, I like it much better than the heavily toned 67 that was the previous lot and sold for $300 more.

15 puffy sails and full split shells....good one! Perhaps the very small dings to the 8th and 15th sails (counting left to right, top down) held it from a 68......but I've seen 68s that had more marks than this one.....I think more likely an example of PCGS wanting to use the +. Many times it seems that their + coins would simply have been given the next grade up in the past.
