I replied to one of those mint surveys where they asked what other products should they offer? I suggested they should recreate the octagonal Pan Pacific coin since they were reproducing everything else anyway.....

Absolutely wonderful acquisition, numismatic student! I feel this is the 2nd most beautiful coin the U.S. has ever issued, behind only the high-relief Saint-Gaudens double eagle. And I agree - if I was ever to purchase one, the octagonal version is definitely the one I'd want.

Thank you for all your kind comments. I was informed by the seller that the coin holder was cracked and they offered to reholder and resticker the coin for me. 2 to 4 weeks though.   IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Very nice! Congrats!
I've long believed that many very nice coins exist in AU-58 - often more attractive examples than lower-grade Uncirculated pieces.
