| OP, do you want to know a worse hobby? Try buying a fishing boat, all the gear, fuel, insurance, electronics, wharfage, etc...Only to find out that the fish you get to keep costs $1000 per pound. |

| This real early stuff is a little out of my wheelhouse. Matching this coin to PCGS Photograde looks like a F-12 obverse and a borderline F-12 reverse. With an estimated survival rating below 3000 in all grades, A PCGS slabbed F-12 is around $1100. Even at VG it is a $750 coin so I suppose that $496 is more than reasonable for a raw coin. PCGS is showing 6 varieties for this date (B-1 thru B-5) but I have no clue about the differences. Perhaps another member can expand on the varieties. |

| Looks like a decent coin but the TPG is not a well recognized grading company. Unsure if it actually DMPL. You will have to study it better. With a piece of white paper with printing on it, stand the coin on edge and see how far you can see the reflection of the printing . 2" would be prooflike and 4" would be DMPL. Also must be that criteria for both sides of the coin. Best wishes! |

sharper and larger pics needed. Trust not in AI to grade your coins.
Fantastic!
