Fugio bargain?

I may be wrong but I think someone got a really great deal on this one:

    I feel the price was fair compared to like graded examples I've seen on the brouse floor at shows.

    Strangely enough, I bought a Fugio on ebay earlier this year that cost me the exact same amount after grading fees. It graded AU55, and it's one of my favorites.

    Not bad for an 8-pointed star, though I'm not sure I would call that a 30.

  • It has some issues that would keep it out of my collection, but overall it's a nice coin and at an excellent price for a 15-Y. It looks familiar to me, I just can't remember where I've seen it ... I'll try to dig out my old notes ;-)

    Saw that too, which prompted my starting this thread. I like Fugios a lot but I don't know enough to take the plunge yet.
