Blew all 2019 money on one coin.
Yep...I have until December 2019 to pay it off until they start charging interest.
I can do it without too much trouble but I might loose a bit of weight 
Here it is...
I'm now officially a spectator here. (no new coins for me this year)
Bank check in mail yesterday and estimated ship date of 18 Apr2019.

It's still in Hansen's collections but I've been vulch'ing it since January.
Waiting for him to upgrade and put it up for sale.

It's a 65 and way too low grade for his set.
It was a place holder for him.
I'm super excited about it

One mans trash is another's treasure.You got that right!
I'd hate to have to get rid of such a nice coin because it didn't grade high enough.
This one is a bit "Baggy" but has something very special about it.

I like how the copper spot above the torch. Looks like a flame!
I've blown my coin budget for the year early on, many times before. If I were honest with myself I wouldnt be able to buy another coin until around until 2034.Dead Cat Waltz Exonumia

I've never seen anything like it.Yea, that's just a perfect location to tone. Draws the eye right in! If it were in the fields, it would be a complete distraction.
Congrats on your new acquisitionDead Cat Waltz Exonumia

Seems like following Hansen may be a great way to build a collection!
I've been thinking of doing something similar, but not sure I can do it yet.

I probably know some of his coins better than he does.
Here is the closest thing I can find so far as copper spotting goes around the torch (from Simpson again)

Gorgeous Saint @ReadyFireAim and what @DCW said.
That's the first think that struck me.

There is a rumor of a saint where liberty has dark brown hair in a field of gold & a pink dress.
I might be living under a bridge if I ever find it.

Copper spots on gold are an instant turn off for me. I have never seen a gold coin with a copper spot that I thought was attractive.................until now. This one actually looks like it belongs there, congrats on the pickup!

I'm usually turned off by copper spots on gold, but I can see the attraction to this one as it is well placed.

Looks like a luster bomb too! Saints look so much better with blazing luster, not a fan of dull ones, especially if they are 65's or 66's.

Wow, nice! Blew all your money for 2019 on one coin??? I've thought that before but have always scrounged up more money for one, or, more that I had to have. Admire your taste, and discipline!

Very noice! I'd like to own it too.

It looks like a 65-C from the TrueView & I'm not usually a fan of bottom grade coins, but for this one, I'll make an exception
Luster could bump it up to a high C & that would be great.
Plus...She has a nice face.
And who doesn't like a pretty face?1 -

Very nice coin, and your set of Saints is very very impressive to this (uninitiated) observer.
To throw a little gasoline on the flame, it'll be fun to see what you do in 2020.
