I've exercised patience for months as many forum members suggested :) and finally rewarded with one I am HAPPY with.... IMHO

It's very hard to satisfy fancy without going up to MS65, where price is so out of reach for me.

    It's not a rare date and she has a ding by her nose but...... well she is not 65 nor $5000 in that regard so I am quite content o:)<3

    That's a great coin! And you probably got the max eBay Bucks to boot!

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Almost...eBay fine print limits it to $100 max rather than the full 8% ($144). I am glad I did not buy any raw Double Eagles though...

    I'm glad you are happy with it Sari, that's the main thing. I recently sent cac a small group of $20 gold coins, got one sticker, which maybe shows that "original", etc. are tough criteria. I can't recall the last time PCGS gave me a plus.

    @logger7
    Thank you logger7. Congratulation on your CAC) certification. BTW do you know if PCGS has the (+) cate listed on their spread sheet?

  • logger7logger7 Posts: 8,620 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I would just check their Coinfacts or price guide, I think it is listed as NGC does on theirs.

    I had a choice for 1900 MS64 instead but that particular seller has 92% feedback with one very concerning feedback "won item on low bid but then seller cancelled order"; so decided not to take that kind of risk.
    Factored in the discount this netted $1700; PCGS CoinFact listed as $1875.
    Are you looking for your first Double Eagle as well? I do see GC listing a MS64 CAC but not the 64+ though.

    I see many other MS 64's and did not pull the trigger until this came along, IMO the eye appeal landed her the (+)
    Be very particular especially on expensive purchase :)

    Very nice addition! Move your lighting around so the hit at the nose is not so prominent. Congrats!

    Not very much $100 would get me in the world of coin collecting ;) I am still looking for a nice 1921 PEACE; preferably MS65

    I felt the same way when I bought my first $10 indian in ms-64. I found a higher end one and it looks like a ms-65, very big price jump from ms-64 to ms-65

  • Peace_dollar88Peace_dollar88 Posts: 1,221 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Awesome coin. Definetly need to pick one up for my box of 20.
