Appears to be a nice, original coin. Only thing that you have to watch is a light wiping that creates hairlines that are not seen in the pic because of the orientation of the light. Nevertheless, the seller has a generous return period.

I'm thinking first thing is EYE APPEAL, heck with the grade ..... This coin has EYE APPEAL .....

As for the strike, pretty good but a little weak on reverse but typical ......

Grade ..... I think it's been slid across the counter on its back a few times - the obverse no but reverse yes, I believe ..... Personally I would grade obverse MS63+ and reverse AU-58+ .....

Price, I suspect coin will go in the $130 range, due to eye appeal ......

As for stabbed coin, I'd buy way it is, I break most of mine out and put in album anyways!

Up to $100 with 30 minutes to go.

If I did not already have a nice 3CN in my type set, that
I am very happy with, I would bid on this one.

Eye appeal and die clash are big plus for me.

No luck, I went to $100 but backed off when I thought I saw hairlines. I get spooked when going over $100 raw on ebay.

He overhyped it for the high price. There's nothing that rare about the coin; that stuff is fairly common on those early 3CN dates.

Personally I like the eye appeal of the first coin .... Second coin has more detail on reverse but then add in the Cud and it takes away from eye appeal!
