I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

Just a perfect well struck coin with orange and yellow tones. Of course, some will say SVDBS are common as sand on the beach, but, really thats not the case.
Not in this grade anyway. If I didnt mind losing that lovely Old green holder.....Id resubmit since the only defects I can see are two microscopic nicks on the reverse. Sure would be sweet to have it come back as a MS67RD!
In the future though.....Id love to buy the coin I have as my Icon. An original 1861 CSA cent. Thats 150K roughly, with only 12 known. Lovett lost **LOST** one though, Id dig up Philly if I though I could locate it

Edited to add: The day after I bought it, I went to Dunham's sports and bought a gun safe to put it and
my collections in. Took 5 men to deliver it. Weighed half a ton. Fireproof to 1700 degrees F. Bolted to the floor.
Also used for other things including CDs of all our digital pics taken during our travels.
