A trifecta plus one for me. Old Gold, beautiful coin, in an OGH with a Gold CAC sticker. Four things to like about this newp. Had to buy it when I saw it. Very fortunate to have acquired this one.
edit: Forgot to add @TomB might like seeing this one again after a number of years.

Thanks @GuzziSport This one replaced an 1860 AU55 CAC no motto $10 that I didn't like the look of. I will finally have my 12 coin gold set finished when a couple other buys arrive.
After seeing the OGH on one of the threads, I did some research and decided to collect Franklins in the old green holders. Here are are my first 3. I found the PCGS Museum of Coin Holders and found that in the 3.0 generation the paper dye was unstable occasionally turning yellow or blue. In the 3.1 the dye stability was corrected. I like the 3.0 holder turned yellow, I think it is an anomaly that gives the coin and holder a little more character. Just my opinion.
On the US coin front, this was my big purchase at the FUN show in January.
Actually, there is no way I could have afforded to actually purchase it. I got it in a swap. I traded in my old PCGS MS62 of the same date (which was OK but a bit generic), plus 75 bucks. Because I had paid $2,200 for the old one a few years ago, I now have $2,285 invested in this one, which seems pretty good considering its spot value alone. ($2,200 for the trade-in, $75 for the upgrade fee, and $10 for photos.) Not only was this a one-point upgrade, but this new addition is much better looking than the old coin I had.
I also liked that this new addition is in an older (pre-prong) NGC holder, which helped when I had @messydesk shoot photos of it at the show. No nasty white prongs in the pics!

Picked up a nice group of mostly OGH walkers. Please tell me how to get the glue off the slabs from the stickers. Thanks.
NICE! I’ve used nail polish remover or WD-40. Carefully!

Thanks Copperindian.
Just a quick PS: after the sticky residue/adhesive is removed, I like to use a little Windex to clean the surface. Again, carefully!

Coin dealer had MS65 written on the 2x2, I think it has a shot at MS66.
