I couldn't believe my eyes when i spotted this on the bourse floor in Lakeland. I got an absolutely amazing deal on it from "Dr. Tony." I didn't pay anything out of pocket, it was all trade! image AND IT'S A 2.1!! image


Edited to add new pics. They're much better now! image

    Yep, and this is why many of these very-old-holdered proofs have been cracked out over the years, to get the CAM designation on a newer slab.

    Beautiful coin! Any CAC bets on whether this goes gold like many of your others?

    Uh, I don't see any green sticker on the label in your photo. Was I supposed to go to the CAC website to check for myself? Well!

    That certainly is a fantastic coin; and if you got rid of your
    duplicates, bullion or whatever to get it, "Bully For You " !!!

    It's screaming with eye appeal !!

    So I realized that the coin was tilted in the slab, so i HAD to take some new shots to compensate. So here's some new pics guys! I added the green bean just for you, Kurt!



    Here's the coin head-on. I love the color on the wreath, even from a normal angle!

    image


    And here's a shot with better focus over the whole coin, lighted axially.

    And here's the slab!

    The coin and case sure show a lot of class. This is say nothing about the pizazz of the coin color. It's a great find.

    NGC 2.1. It was the black slab, then this! In fact, this particular slab was used for only a week and a half in 1987!
