I agree the color is meh. Maybe the coin looks nicer in hand. But I doubt it. Sure doesn't seem the rainbow it is advertised as.

Best Regards,

The 65 has a nicer look than that 64, but I'd pass on both for my tastes. I'd await a more compelling example.

This one is being offered for $475 and I prefer it to the one you are considering.

I'd pass on the first two posted. Yeah they are nice grades, but they don't have much eye appeal to me. I want my smaller coins like nickels and dimes to be bright or, if toned, have nice luster. Seems both of those are lacking.

Now the 1892 posted, I really like that one. Check out the die clashes!

Never did get a response from the seller. I took a step back and thought about it a lot and I've actually decided to walk away from it totally now. I'm a little torn on it as I still think its a coin that needs to be seen in hand to truly tell. however for some reason about 2 weeks ago I started having problems seeing/remembering why I had fallen so hard for the coin at the very beginning and to this day I still cant recapture or understand what it was about it at first that knocked me down.
something else that slightly worried me was the fact that while its priced pretty competitively it has been sitting up on ebay for at least 3 or 4 months getting re-listed again and again because I've had it on my watch list since then but no one has went for it yet.
another reason I walked is because of all your opinions. I am very strong headed and will generally do what I feel is best however I am also happy to receive the advice from people and take it into consideration when deciding what I feel I should do and what the next step in my collection should be. thank you

ultimately besides that small twinge of "I should of bought it and seen it in hand and sent it back if I didn't feel like it was the coin for me." thoughts I don't regret letting it go, its a very common grade in a quite common year since its the first year of issue with many examples to choose from anyway. their will be other 1892 p's.

Don't like that either, high point rub on Liberty's cheek.
