Images do not give this stunning piece justice. I had this in hand for awhile today and snapped these quickly. Also in the lot was a $4 Stella and several other stunning pieces.

    I had a 66 in my hands once. I was seriously thinking about making a run for it. Literally

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    AND for that price they threw in the half dollar, gold dollar and quarter eagle from what I have read.

    We all love to see a coin of a lifetime and thank you for sharing it with us.

    So, would I consider selling my whole collection to buy this coin, ........well maybe. If I were nearing the end of my own life, that might make sense as my heirs would only have to fight over one coin, not 100's. And I would die knowing that I owned one of the most beautiful coins of all time.

    Here is one of my 100 year anniversary "commemoratives" from the Pan Pac Exhibition. (Actually I do have a gold Pan Pac Octagonal but by no means a MS 65 on par with the one subject of this thread.)

  • There's nothing quite like it.
    Let's try not to get upset.

    A dear collector friend of mine once took me up into his bank deposit box to look at some of his collection.

    The first thing he showed me a box where he took out TEN Pan Pac...seven round and three octagonal. I still remember the sound as they thudded on the desk as he laid them out.
    Crazy...
