Picked up this piece tonight. It attracted my gaze instantly. I still have my eye on another coin coming up later tonight.

    Very nice. I almost bid on it. Not sure why I didn't, but I'm glad I didn't so as not to run you up.

    << <i>You got that at a good price! >>




    Honestly, that's what I thought. I wasn't going to spend crazy to get it but I was willing to go to a max of $1200 just because I really liked eye appeal of the coin.

    The coin is common, the pop reports show 25 graded at NGC with fifteen grading 65 or better including a few proof likes. PCGS shows 14 graded with seven going 65 or better.

    What I'll call the "sister coin" to the one I bought (same submission, grade, date, mint & roughly the same eye appeal) was battled over in an auction a few years prior and went for a good sum.

    I guess its just a matter of "any given day" and who wants what and what they will pay. I'm happy with the coin and the price so it's a win/win.

    JC you did very well. I think this is at least a $1K coin.
