Um, XF 45? For sure not a 55.

A lot has to do with eye appeal and then a closer inspection. If you ever get to a coin show and look at the thousands of coins in cases on display, some seem to jump right out you while the others lie there quietly waiting and nobody even notices them. I try to collect coins that stand out in the crowd. There will come a day when those coins have to be sold again and if they jumped out at me, they will do the same for someone later. and honestly ... I am not a very good grader.  I'm not a smart man ... but I know what a nice coin is. Good night! |

Let's see what this can actually be had for. It's rare enough that it's likely a good deal at the right price. |

I'm new to all this, and I've never encountered any market where the old phrase 'Buyer Beware' is more appropriate. I could start 5 threads a day here but I'm trying to hold off. Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to post. It's very helpful. |

Next time, please give us at least 48 hours to reply! Okay, I just figured out what you meant. This is how new I am. You meant 'Don't post the reveal until everyone has time to reply'! I didn't get it, I thought you meant 'wait to say thanks and goodbye'! Which is actually cool, that you want to participate. Definitely get it now. Thanks for the good advice. |

Thanks for the update, perhaps that is a fair price it fetched. Keep hunting.

I'm surprised it made it to an AU-55 slab without any luster showing. I agree with the other at EF-45.
