    Teletrade, of all places. Used to be in an NGC holder too.

    I bought the 1855-D half eagle from Doug Winter, shortly after the first Pittman auction in 1997.

    << <i>What is the grade and was it a steal? >>



    PCGS 62. Steal? Any time I can use fiat instruments like the US Dollar to acquire rare precious metals, yeah, I'm stealing.

    can't remember anything too specific about it now. I got it in 2007 or 2008 IIRC
