Just arrived from the good guys at Northern Nevada Coins. Stick a fork in me, I'm done for the year and couldn't be happier.
What do you think about it? I'm thinking about sending it in for the picture servise. Later, CCG

Why waste money on picture service? You did a good job yourself. Just make it bigger and crop out the slab if you don't like it.
Thanks for entering me in your giveaway!
I want to find an 1872-CC just like that!

Here's my 72-CC. Here's a prime example of market grading. The coin has XF40 detail, but is cleaned. However, since it belonged to THE MAN, they net graded it to 25:
Very nice. Wacky collecting trends will come and go, but rarity never goes out of style!

If she finds out how much you paid for it, she may bounce you off the wall some more.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

If he paid anything close to VG money for it, she should be kissing him profusely.

Not bad. In addition, Brian Greer estimated that "(p)roblem-free examples are at least R5" (31-75 known).
Nice little treasure. My fledgling seated dime set is mostly VF/XF with a few nice Fines thrown in, but I'd not hesitate to put a "VG-8" of this caliber with it, given the prohibitive cost of this date.
Nice & orgiinal to boot!
