I was pretty excited to add this classic beauty to my inventory last week.

It is an 1806 Pointed 6 with 8x5 Stars. PCGS estimates 200 survivors in all grades out of an original mintage of 9676 pcs.

    WOW. That's a stunner.

    I'm going to be the first to jump in and say NOICE!

    Edit: Just realized as a bonus you have a cool older holder as well. I think they display better. Great looking coin.

    Thank you for the kind comments ms70. I am no expert on PCGS holders, but I believe this one spans c. 1999-2002.

    Nice piece to add to inventory. It'd be nicer to add to collection. But either way.... it's nice.

    Very nice coin indeed - well done! The "Pointed 6 / 8X5 Stars" is much tougher than the "Rounded 6 / 7X6 Stars" variety.

    I spose I should get one too.
    I've had them and for some (smoe) reason sold them.
    It would go between my $2.50 and $10. ;)

    I remember when you had one in your inventory, topstuf, but do not recall the date. 1803/2?

    Very nice

    I just noticed you are in Ashville, we spend time in the mountains outside of Hendersonville every year. I'll try to stop by your shop next time I'm there.

    I love Western NC it is absolutely beautiful, and not to far from where the Bechtlers minted their gold.

    As for the "you suck" might have to question that one..... by what authority and criteria was it given?????
