I guess everyone was watching basketball or bidding on the Trade Dollar. Even with some slightly off toning this 1889/8 is a somewhat better date and tough to find in decent grades, NGC has only graded 3 total in uncirculated grades, not sure about PCGS. This one in 64RB and picked up on ebay tonight for a very reasonable price.

    I had a similar experience on Oscar night.

    That is more than a "slightly better date." It is R14 by Freeman's account (251-500 believed extant). Congrats. PCGS has two, both MS64B. Here is one of them:

    Yes, think I may know where the other PCGS coin is. LOL!

    I have not found this date to be as scarce as rated as have seen a number of them...

    Well, just Love coins, period.
