Very nice! A bit high on the price, should be about $200-250.

I'm certainly not afraid to pay a premium for superior quality, but it's a bit much for me as well. It does have the Best Offer option, so who knows what their bottom dollar is. It doesn't cost me anything to drool all over it though! That is one sweet cent!
I would of thought NGC would have given that one the "star" designation denoting superior eye appeal. Then again, maybe the coin isn't quite as attractive in person as what it appears to be on the computer screen.
It's nice to look at though! LOL!

It's a nice looking steelie. Slight rotation it looks like too.

Nice coin:  But......The "toning" looks artificial to me. Could be a common coin experiment that came out good. |

Definitely a nice steelie, but I'm always a little suspicious of any toning and actually
I personally am not willing to pay a premium for it. I like toning and have toned coins which
are quite nice but as we all know toning can be added artificially. The only toning I "trust" are
are coins which are encapsulated like proof coins in original packaging

I've never seen colorful toning on one of these before. Very unusual.

Very nice coin. The colors do not strike me as being odd. If zinc does not corrode to a white oxide that bluish color and the golden tinges are normal.
I do wish his close up pictures were in focus though.

There's definately nothing AT about this coin. That's as natual as they get.

I find it hard to believe that anybody is actually surprised by the high BIN price. That kind of ultra-overpricing is standard on E-Bay (and it stinks). I can find you thousands of listings like that.
By the way, yes it is a very nice coin -- I agree with that.
