Thank-you Panzaldi! Yeah, I agree about the last photo being much more clear.. it just doesn't capture the toning I wanted to illustrate - the electric blue / pink hues. Your 100% correct, about the video.. I will need to figure out how to post to YouTube and then provide the link here going forward.
Any thoughts on the distracting cheek / neck marks and do you feel it devalues this coin? Did I pay too much at $1400? I mean, I realize those marks are not in an ideal position - tbh, they are much more pronounced under magnification and though you could still see them, in the moment on the coin show floor... the toning it what kinda caused me from excitement to look past or be oblivious to them.
I still feel this is to be expected in PR63? They are either going to be on the devices or fields, but from what a read, these proofs were susceptible in some regards to many hairlines. To search for another 1892PR63 in better shape with toning might have took a long time.
I hope I did not pay too much, but would prefer an honest opinion. All the other Barbers at the show were $4,000, $5,000 and lacked the character that this coin has.
Thanks again!

For what it's worth Greysheet retail is at 1100. The last two sales at heritage.com went for 976 and 840 respectively. There was a recent sale on ebay for 1500. All of these sales were for PR 63's. Edited by adam126402

When I say this coin is a chameleon, this one is so different than the others. Not a boring coin at all. There is an amazing variety from different perspectives!  |

Did I pay too much at $1400? the auction prices listed for PR63 are all right around $1000 however, these prices are several years old. PCGS lists a retail price of $1525 with 82 grade PR63. ebay shows on one PR63 sold and it went down for $1500 and really has no toning so. I dont think you overpaid for it |

Thanks Panzaldi
Numismatist student had me thinking because of the less than ideal placement of the straiations. I get that some may overlook mine, when its time to sell due to some distracting marks on the neck and cheek, however I feel like the toning makes up for it and those marks in the pics are exaggerated a bit due to magnification.
Thank-you everyone for your help and navigating this jungle.
Still wish I had an expert chime in on my coin specific to Barbers to give me a breakdown on the coin overall.
Thus community has been great
