Picked this up today for $325. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks.

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."

It's also important to consider 17.5% buyers premium for HA pickups.

The buyers premium is included in the sale price. When people make their bids and set limits, they factor in the buyers premium. So essentially the seller ends up paying the premium as coins remain in the fair value range that they have sold for in previous auctions and price guides. The only exception is coins with exceptional eye appeal. Those can sell for 20% to 50% over book value.

Quote:Fairly priced at $325 it reminds me a lot of this piece: https://coins.ha.com/itm/bust-quart...Lot=1x=0&y=0P.S. I just noticed it is the exact same piece. The Heritage images look better. Wow, kudos to you, BH1964 for finding this exact coin. I believe this was cracked out of the PCGS slab it was in in 2014. I guess it sold for $388 back then at auction, so it seems like the $325 I paid was reasonable. Looking forward to getting this in hand and getting some photos taken of my own. I blew up the HA photos below and saw that there was some significant reverse clashing that was not apparent from this seller's pictures. And the slab also gives the variety as Browning 2 - awesome! Thanks BH and all the other folks contributing your thoughts.
