Thanks for the comments!

NGC gave it a VF-20 which I think includes some net-grading for the scratches. I really wanted an AU example but I kept getting outbid (by a lot!) so I settled on this piece for a fraction of the cost of an AU. I find it generally pleasing, especially the strong reverse. Good enough until an extra $6000 or so turns up in the couch cushions!

I think you did ok, and it turned out to be fair. I am guessing that you paid around $2K for VF20. VF30 would have cost you $3K, and a VF details coin could expect a 30% discount. In that case, I would rather own a straight VF20 than a VF details coin. But for the scratches, it is a wonderful coin and I hope that you will enjoy it until you acquire the AU at your goal. Cheers!

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

This week DLRC offered a 1806/5 25C in NGC XF45 which looked problem free for $4,150. It sold in a couple of days as of this morning.
