Pretty much walked the entire bourse floor searching for upgrades to the set and only one made the cut.

At least it was worth the trip.......

    Great coin, and must be a great set if that's the only one you could upgrade from a show like FUN.

    Thanks for the compliments. By far one of the nicest that I have come across for the date. Looks even better in hand.

    Wow ... it must look better in hand. I was with AMRC as an AU-58. That sure looks like rub on the images. Glad you found an upgrade.

    Just another example of how difficult it is to grade coins where the picture is blown up many times larger than the actual coin and you cannot see it in 3 dimensions as when the coin is in hand. Beautiful Coin!!

    Looks like rub to me, too. That's one reason I stay away from s-mint buffs...who the heck knows?

    Imagine the offers you'd get shopping it around at a show if it were raw...

    "gee what a wunnerful coin -- got a little bit of rub here -- but tellyawhat, I'll give you strong money, "AU bid." Howzat, kiddo?

    BTW, congrats on finding a beautiful coin.
