but, you're right in that it didn't go cheap. I'm sure that Heritage is very happy.

It works like this,
I have some really knockout coins I spent some larger dollar figures on.
Sometimes I get a bit depressed thinking about those figures, and wonder what the heck I was thinking, putting that kind of money into a piece of metal,
...but then I take them out, and the light catches one of them just-so -- and I remember why I spent that money, and I don't feel quite nearly so bad about it.

I've never used this word for a coin, but that thing is just plain cool. It is a work of art, a piece of history, and a magnificent example of numismatic quality.

 Buyer's remorse:- It is a bit like love: "Like getting your finger jammed in the back of a door: it hurts for a while, but you will get over it.  In fantastic condition. The dark patina will stand out in a collection of much whiter coins. Probably best to get it slabbed, because the color contrast will be ameliorated somewhat. Also will help to protect it from nicks and scratches. |
