Woohoo! I won! She's mine!

Took some fight, but I prevailed. Had to have this one.

It checks off the three main criteria I was after:

(1) Straight-graded.
(2) 1700s-dated.
(3) CircCam contrast and nice eye appeal.

This is now the most expensive coin I have owned in 46 years of collecting.

    In my 46 years collecting, I’ve owned only one other, in the early 2000s. It was an 1800 in ANACS VG8. Straight graded, but of only neutral eye appeal.

    Very nice acquisition, Lord.

    I'll take the liberty to add one more criteria with your approval.

    (1) Straight-graded.
    (2) 1700s-dated.
    (3) CircCam contrast and nice eye appeal.
    (4) Original skin

    Beautiful! At the very top of design; obverse and reverse IMO.

    This is the first piece of 1700s US silver I have owned. Previously, it's just been coppers.

    Well done, sir! You can't hope for much better than that! Definitely a bucket list coin for just about any collector, and that particular coin has far more eye appeal then most I have seen in this grade range.

    The coin looks great, you have landed a good one. I wonder what people would have graded it if they had not seen the NGC grade.

    That coin caught my eye as well. I've always wanted to own a Flowing Hair dollar, so I checked out the early dollars and spotted that coin. It's a beautiful circ. cameo. Congrats. I smiled when I found out you won it.

    Jeez Robert, that is exactly the way to break into the Bust Dollar world!

    The description makes me think you'll be in for a pleasant surprise... sounds like there will be some purty colors in that thick antique toning!
    You should get some kinda discount though, seems to me they've been dropping the term "circ cam" now and then over at Stacks..?🤔
