How high will it go? Current bid $3800. 11 days of proxy bidding left ...then the live auction. This example looks like it just got back from a 177 year tour with the Grateful Dead.

Uh, I'm not so much of a fan on this one. I'd much rather get a toned proof example in a lower grade than one with that toing... I just don't like the pail white edge of the coin. not that I wouldn't MIND having a coin like that, I would love it! I'm just saying I wouldn't spend 75K+ on one... I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

This coin is going to sell for over a 100K. A MS 65 not near as nice sold for 32K and this coin is the single top pop with color.

I am guessing it will sell between 50K-75K. Awesome coin.

They definitely one of the highest order. Heritage is to coins as Sotheby's is to art.

Just a shot in the dark...but I'm guessing you didn't expand the image? The edge of the field looks like a sunburst orangey yellow to me.
