Thank you..... Your 93-cc is a beauty! Carson City has always had allure to me. My wife and I stopped in the old cc mint last spring when we were out west for a dog show. I really wanted a cc $20 from their last year of production. Quite pleased that I was able to win last night!

Awesome acquisition! A wow coin for sure!
HA "glamour shots" are nothing of the kind. They dointensify color, but are intended to enhance the ability to find flaws. Shots of slabs, especially toned coins in NGC holders, can be close to opaque.
Watch Stacks. It's starting there too.
Get an agent. I, among many, am available at less than 17.5%: . .

Very nice coin that I would love to own. I feel that the slab shot shows the surface much better than the "glamour" shot my self. If they would have just taken and enlarged the slab image and cropped it you would have had a nice representation of the coin. Let us know how it looks in hand when you get it as I am sure it will be beautiful.
