Looks like the dealers offer of $6200 was spot on. My local coin shop was watching this and predicted $6000 - $6300.

Wow, that was one expensive shovel of dirt. Now, just think, you could use that $ 6k to get one heck of a high tech metal detector to go where no man has ever gone before...

Ouch! It was on the low end of my guess.
That coin will be repaired and resubmitted.

Somebody got a heck of a deal!
Enjoyed the thread!

I was pleased that the coin sold - no one notified me when the auction was - keeping an interested bidder out of the action. No problems....
I could have used it to finish off my 2nd set, especially for the amount it sold for..

Well, if you missed her the first time, she's on ebay now at $14,995.00! (Item number 291384100908 ) The Seller's pics appear to be intentionally "fuzzy" to hide the damage. Run Forrest, run!

I think they are more manipulating the lighting than making it fuzzy. You can see the other details clearly, but the scratch looks like nothing more than a bag mark. People would probably be wondering "Where's the damage the holder says it has?"
