Bought it in the Rattler from a rather obnoxious dealer at a coin show for $32, then resubmitted it.

    About a year and a half or so ago the PCGS population of this variety was 4. I found one, had our host grade it, put it on eBay and got stupid four figure money for it. Then suddenly the population reports shot up to about 35, and the price dropped rather dramatically.

    I just love cherrypicking obnoxious dealers - done it many times.

    Never go back and gloat or they won't let you look at all their overpriced treasures.

    Edited to add: nice score!
