Link to Millennia lot.

Glad PCGS also preserved the provenance. I would cross some of my Millennia coins too, but for the 1% crossover fee.

I have one with the same characteristics as the Millennia coin--same die clashing and semi-PL surfaces--and PCGS saw fit to put it in a 63 holder. I would really like to compare it side-by-side with yours, bidask.

Did you post about this attempt/plan here at some time earlier? What was the consensus then?

I see no reason why it would NOT have crossed

Millennia coins were generally thought to have been overgraded by NGC. I think many wouldn't cross at grade. Actually, I am very surprised (and happy) this one did.

Congratulations! I'm very curious about how the TrueView photo turns out. Mine is a 62 (not Millennia but likely from the same hoard) and one of my most difficult coins to photograph.

Holy frijoles, man! What a coin!

Wow. That's beautiful.

Great imaging by PCGS of this pretty coin.

Not for this particular date, apparently.

That's terrific!

Spectacular. Congrats on the cross.

When I attended the ANA Summer Seminar in 2012 (?), I took a short course (evenings) that Ira Goldberg taught. It was based on the Millennia Collection. It was fund to see a number of the coins in hand (I assume that they were bought by the house), and we were each given a signed copy of Money of the World, written by the Goldbergs and based on this collection.

It crossed .....
