Hated to do it but had to go to Vegas with some mad money last minute. Ended up coming home with a nice six digit win

Hope it goes to a nice new home!!

What do you guys think? Eyeing a nice MS66 as a replacement.

Nice coin! It should do well.

I wish Legend would post pix of both sides of the slab. Glamor shots are cool but I like slab shots for another perspective.

It's a beauty. I am sure you will miss. Hope it goes well for you.

I wish I had a half dozen of those early beauties. Maybe when I break the bank at Monte Carlo...

Hope to see it at Central States. Looks awesome!

Man, nice coin! I'll root for you.

Lance, I was thinking the same thing. Also, in looking at some of the cool toners, and there are TONS of them in this auction, it is interesting to compare legend shots to trueview. Overall, the whole catalog lineup looks amazing to me with nice images.

The image up is from the true view. The original auction was heritage. If you search on heritage Ex benson 1795 it will show up. I really will miss it but I think I am going to buy the 66 I was offered.

It really is a cool coin though.

Last time it was at auction: https://coins.ha.com/itm/early-half-dimes/half-dimes/1795-h10c-ms65-pcgs-cac-v-5-lm-8-r3/a/1204-5547.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515

Lovely coin, nice pedigree, too. The old Valentine 5. Instead of a 66, why not go for some of the rare varieties?

lkeigwin · April 18, 2017 4:13PM

What a gorgeous coin! It appears that when you hit it with light the colors really come alive.

Are Heritage's colors or the True View colors closer to reality?

HERITAGE (2nd set are slab pix)

LEGEND (bottom pic is from slab)

Traz · April 18, 2017 4:49PM

I'd say the true view is a better representation of it.

Wabbit2313 · April 18, 2017 5:16PM

I would not have been happy with those Heritage slab pics. It looks like it was just dug out of the ground!

crazyhounddog · April 18, 2017 5:31PM

That's an incredible beauty . You'll do just fine.

derryb · April 18, 2017 6:36PM

nice coin. since it's a link to a sale on behalf of the OP, shouldn't it be in the BST?

bestday · April 18, 2017 7:08PM

estimated to sell as the same price level from 2002 .. wow

oreville · April 18, 2017 8:50PM

I am surprised!

If you won 6 figures at Vegas, why did you not decide to buy the coin back from Legend and be happy?

Agree. I like to see the slab shots. Glam shots can sometimes be deceiving.

Did you read my post or do you just read the first few parts? I said I am eyeing a 66 as a replacement.

I wouldn't get tired of looking at that one for a long, long time.

Holy crap!
