Unlike many of the community's pillars who are dealers or lifetime buyers, my "expertise" was acquired only recently. I rely on experts like those who post on this site to help steer me in the right direction. I bid and won this coin, hoping the two "variables" I noticed were apparent - large eight followed by eight over seven. In doing more research, I realized that in rarity terms, this coin is considered common. Still, the value of being an Overton 101 does add more to the coin's worth than what I paid. It's always nice to get a bargain.
