I've had the privilege of owning this beauty for a long time, and now it's time for it to find a new home 
The back story:
I hunted around for one of these for a long time and came across a collector who owned a few and was diversifying his collecting interests. This was in one of those classic scenarios of it being in a little white envelope tucked away for decades. It was love at first sight for me.
I sent it to NGC a long time ago and it's about as close to MS as you can get; the artwork and strike are just stunning! I had then sent it to Wings (at the time they were doing Ancients and World) and this got a Gold sticker.
This is from an era when I was really active in Numismatics and coin photography, which has been a long time passion of mine. I would trade e-mails with Phil (PCGS photographer) comparing his images and mine, etc.
I founded a software company, which took all my time, so I had to put my coin collecting and photography passion on the back-burner so this coin (and others I will be listing) haven't see the light of day out of the safe in close to 10 years.
I'm trying to offer the new owner some anonymity in pricing so message me if you're interested in this piece.

How about ball park pricing?
I too would like to know, out of curiosity. It is likely to be out of my reach, but I'd still be interested in knowing a price range. If the price was right, I could possibly sell something to finance it. But yeah, I expect it's gonna be out of my reach.
