    Looks T/B to me, Taco bell napkin I guess it would be TBN. But a very nice coin.

    Saw this on Rich Uhrich’s site almost a year ago.....one of the nicest Bust Halves I’ve ever seen.
    I can just imagine what it looked like in hand <3

    It's a little mellower than the TrueView, but much prettier than the HA photo - when the light hits it at the right angle, it really pops.

    That T$1's looks a lot like the examples Scott Travers was promoting back in the early 90's when NGC graded about 20 original mint sets as Proof 68-69.

    That coin was a beauty! Imagine it without the haze from the lighting and with prooflike surfaces on both sides.
    Sorry I didn't have it TrueViewed when I had it!

    One thing for certain- all the coins posted so far are jaw-droppers.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I was told that that particular deal (which yielded the first '95 S$1 in PF68) came out of Buffalo, NY, down the street from an apartment I lived in while I was in college.

    That's got to be the world's most valuable multi-coin slab.

    Thanks for posting it!! I completed that set in January 2008, and then put it on display. It's much more impressive seen in person than the photos show.

    With a "tip" from Broadstruck himself, I purchased this a few years back from JKAmericana:
    Henry Clay medal by Merriam in Silver 31mm NGC MS65 Unlisted


    I've never seen such beautiful toning on a rare piece like this. There are perhaps two known in this composition.
