Won't reveal until 48 hours, but here's a clue: Nobody has guessed it right yet. :P

Since a majority feel it's on the high end and no one's guessed it right....The only missing high grade is MS 67+

Saw it for sale for $100,000 and then 8 hours after it was gone. Whether it was sold or withdrawn, I don't know.

I'll be honest, I personally don't think that the eye appeal this coin displays warrants a MS-67+ with a Gold CAC sticker. I guess that's why I'm not a professional grader.

"buy the coin, not the grade" comes to mind here for me

Prooflike and an amazing strike. I'm sure the toning looks different in hand. I love it.

The new owner apparently covets it. No appeal to me at all, and I love Liberty Seated coins.

Wrong. This coin sold in 2009 in an NGC 68 holder for $43,125 before being crossed to a PCGS 67+ holder and then to CAC for a Gold bean.

I think we've found our new lead detective!

Very interesting history, thanks for the additional information.

I also love the originality. To me, it oozes with appeal on all levels.

PS - You happen to be from Fayette county, PA ?
