Baltimore pick-up

Just before I departed Baltimore on Saturday, I ran into Andy Lustig and relieved him of this....

I'm happy....

Lovely coin, that's the NGC PF67BN example from back in the April HA sale if memory serves me correctly.

Nice old provenance!

Oh. My. Gosh.

That is absolutely stunning.

Too bad about the

white NGC prongs messing up the pictures.

But wow. That is a truly sensational coin.

Correct! That "scratch" on the obverse is on the holder. That is also where I took the images as the NGC images were poor and my photography skills cannot capture this.

I also have a 1737 MS65 piece that I purchased raw as a non-proof but thinking it might be a proof. Having this one to compare it to settles a lot of questions in my mind about the different look of proof coins from that era.
