hmmm. AU58 or MS60. when you blow this up I'm not seeing the circulation wear but most of the fields are devoid of luster. I'm going with a conservative AU58

Nice coin. I was at AU-58. I think the scratch on the neck may have moved it back to a 55.
Rest in Peace

After taxes, including ebay's new minimum sale income tax requirements, the wife may be sad again.

Seems like the buyer got a great coin at a bargain price. I wonder if you could have gotten a cash offer of at least that much if you had offered it here on CCF.

When I browse ebay most coins of interest to me have starting bids way too high. A starting bid of $1312.87 for this coin would have looked very reasonable.

Sorry the auction didn't yield a better result for you.

All thing considered, you did OK on a quick flip.
