I owned this coin a couple of years ago and when I let her go to help pay for a new acquisition, I almost immediately regretted my decision. Thought I'd never see her again. Well, I was looking through the Heritage auctions from the FUN show, and there she was! I'll not make that mistake again.

Interesting !! So now you have owned the coin twice !!

And that puts you a position to know how much it has increased in value by passing through
a few sets of hands ?

On the other side, you've now had to pay for it twice.

Paid almost exactly what I sold her for, although the grade has changed. The first time around was in an old ngc fattie holder, and the grade was ms66dmpl. This lady is too clean for a 66, and the mirrors don't stand up to today's standards so I believe the 67 Pl is finally right.
Here's an old image I still have of her.
