You did well on this. Surprising that only 2 people took this from $4200 to $5200. Well done. If one of them had not been there it would have only fetched $4300. Interesting how the market can work.
That's the issue with today's grading. Most 19th century coinage in 61 to 62 or even 63 grades is AU by older standards. But it is the standard of today. But for the most part the TPG's require full field luster for MS61 or higher on 20th century issues. The later you get the more luster they require.
If we required full luster on UNC bust halves for example, the starting point to own an UNC bust half would be $2000 rather than $600. And if you tossed in no rub as well, you'd be starting at $6500.
