    Well worth it though.

    Beautiful coin !!!

    That has as much chance of being AU 55 as being an AG3!

    Some of the grades people toss out on this board amaze me.

    That's attractive, but it needs 4 more sixes in the certificate number in order to allow it to own your soul.

    Looks nice. If they are in an album long enough it happens. Here's my little gem not so colorful but still target toned.

    I really don't see how a coin almost two hundred years old could be MS 68. I did not think ANY coins made back then could reach such a high grade.

    Just to be clear, this is not my CBH, but I'd gladly accept it as a Giveaway. image

    I just came across it while checking some current CBH prices, and clicked the PCGS# link and this popped up. image

    I checked the cert. # today and it shows it was/is pedigreed to Simpson....there are several other nice CBHs either side of this cert. #.

    Two things struck me; 1. the overall flow/cleaniless of the cheek (I'm a fan of clean cheeks), and the obv. color was very similar to an 1832 which I owned back in about 1982 although that coin was really technically an AU58; likely now in an MS63/4 slab.

    As to the color on this '33, it's also very similar to a few British coins which I used to own, hence the sudden attraction.

    I thought the MS-68 comment was a joke ... but then I looked up the certificate number! Geez! That must just be a monster in-hand.
