This one made me laugh....
"Standing a full 3 points above the next finest certified representative, to say that the offering blows the competition out of the water is a vast understatement."
I should mention that the coin is graded AU53. The next finest is a 50.

Cut and paste from an MS68.
The auction description also mentions several historically prominent collectors who's collection did not hold a piece as well graded as the one being offered. So we must be talking about a coin with only a handful of survivors.
Am I missing the notation in the description or does the description not indicate from who's collection this coin is currently coming from? Is it time for another upgrade?
@JohnnyCache This coin is part of a single-owner sale. Everything in that auction came from the same anonymous but serious collector.
Thanks for clarifying that, I guess I've become accustomed to seeing the collectors name plastered across the auction house's promotions that it didn't occur to me that the seller was choosing to remain anonymous, I just thought I missed it.
