"Unhesitatingly..."

So did Legend stumble across a Breenism in this press release about a truly stunning Chapman proof when they "unhesitatingly pronounced" it to be the finest known, or was it intentional? Either way, this appears to be a rather amazing specimen.

    Beautiful coin with extraordinary puffery. I like it but looks like I'm out...way out...nose bleed bleachers way out...just a spectator with bargain seats on this one.

    This part of the commentary is false:

    "Like Farran Zerbe, who also had specially issued Morgan dollars in 1921, they had connections in the Philadelphia mint, and they were obliged."

    I see what looks like very pronounced strike doubling on the obverse at “e Pluribus unum”
    Is that a camera artifact? If not, is this present on the other coins that are called Chapman proofs?

    My jaw dropped too.

    I 'unhesitatingly" think that we have a Breenism here.

    Am I the only one who sees hairlines or die polishing lines. The description said you need a good glass to see them, but I can see them fairly easily. Still a great coin of course.

    One does not unhesitatingly think, for doing so would make your proclamation or declaration predicated on hesitating long enough to actually think. One must unhesitatingly declare or proclaim, if I don't unhesitatingly so declare, myself.

    I unhesitatingly declare this one of the most interesting auction descriptions I have read in a while. Specialist seems not to be posting much; I hope she is okay.

    It is not up to the quality of a real proof, but it is very close and very nice!
