If you are looking for something to do with your hobby dollars, check out this beauty that is being auctioned by Heritage at the FUN Show later this week. Current bid, with Buyer's Premium, is $47,000! It looks spectacular - I wish I was going to be at the show to check it out in person! http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...1&lotNo=5606@nickelsearcher: It's CAC approved! I think it would look great in your mint state set!  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Great coin! Interesting that at MS68 it is not a Top Pop. There are two PCGS MS68+ pieces and an NGC MS69 out there!

I am surprised nobody has figured out the price to melt break point yet... I mean man that is an awfully inflated price!
It is beauty as well!

I did not realize that there were proofs as well. The sale also has a couple of Isabella proofs on auction.

@nickelsearcher: It's CAC approved! I think it would look great in your mint state set! Indeed commems ... believe me on this ... I dropped out at a bit of a lower price.  Lament however the MS66/CAC Isabella that I missed out on a few HA auctions ago ... blast white with apparent original surfaces and tremendous luster ... geepers ... always disappointing to be the 2nd highest bidder! http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...9&domain=allTremendous coin this MS68 ... alas not for me at that price! Thanks for sharing. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artEdited by nickelsearcher

Absolute stunner from the pictures. That coin looks like it would be a strong candidate for a + if resubmitted.

Excellent and rare.
I would prefer a much more common MS60, and get a complete set of commemorative halves in near the same grade.

Very sweet looking coin.
What does top pop mean?

Top Pop means a coin is currently the highest graded for that particular date/MM.
