I posted this one a few days ago and I just wanted to post again and say it has arrived and is every bit as nice as the images.

    Very nice.

    Was the point of this post to ask people to define what type of people they are?

    I consider myself colorful, most people would probably consider me flaky.

    You asked for comments on this coin before and this is what I wrote:

    The colors are really neat except for a few stray spots on the portraits. I do see an oberse line mark on the collar below the stars. It looks like a very noticeable 3/4 inch vertical contact mark from another coin in the left obverse field, unless this is only toning. The hits on the bridge are pretty large and my eye is immediately drawn to them. The strike on the top edge of the bridge is not very good. Ther are some hits in the water below the bridge just above the word "THE".

    Overall, too many marks for me since I would only buy antietam in MS66 or MS67.

    Sorry to sound so negative on this pretty coin, but you asked and I responded as best I could since you say you have yet to purchase this one.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    For me, I first thought I might end up being a drifter... but this forum is way too entertaining (and informative) to stay away very longimage Oh and by the way, did I mention how happy I am with this Antietam! I was originally limiting my collection to only PCGS. What many have said regarding this is blatantly obvious... BUY THE COIN, NOT THE HOLDER!!! I think I've gained a little more wisdomimage

    Great coin! I'd love to find a nice one like that some day.

    As far as which group I'm in... I have no idea. Nearly 13000 posts and I guess I've never been considered part of any herd. I guess I march alone.

    Nice one, John. The color is superb and the marks only look slightly distracting because the whole image is huge.

    What do you fall under... Me? I am a... I am a... good gawd! What am I?
    Certainly not a wanna... oh yeah, nevermind. That's had the krap kicked out of it tonight.

    Anyone want to guess AT or Nt?

    Just kidding Dizz...

    Great coin and at least for me I care not whether it is in a 66 or 67 holder. This coin has EYE APPEAL to the max.

    According to Russ, it's only a MS64 in a PCGS holder...
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Pretty coin, and a good story. Although I think 66 is a bit of a stretch image.

    Daniel, you're right on track (not about 66 being a stretch but about the Union Generals) image. McClellan had so many opportunities to "finish off" the Confederates at Antietam as well as other major theatres but elected not to and used passive tactics for fear of losing his men. That really worked...image

    Also, did you know that prior to Virginia seceding from the Union, Abe Lincoln requested for Robert E. Lee to head up the Union Army? Oh what a different, and probably much quicker, war it would have been had Lee been a Bluecoat. It was obviously the tenacity of U.S. Grant that finally created the outcome that so many expected so much sooner. Oh by the way speaking of Grant...

    That sure is nice for a 66. I'd have paid a premium for it.
