Both are beautiful!

Did you trade the old one or will you be selling it on the forum?

That may not be Top Pop, but if it isn't, Top Pop is looking over his shoulder nervously. Unbelievable coin.

She grades out at PR66CAM in a PCGS holder. Looks like there are 11 in this grade with 2 graded higher. I feel really fortunate to have even had the opportunity to purchase this coin. It always seems there is a list a clientele most dealers have that they call for their registry sets when coins like this hit the market.

Unfortunately I did trade the 1859. I offered it for several weeks in the selling forum with no bites. I wish it could have gone to someone here but no one even moved on it when I even offered layaway!

I will have some nice stuff I will be selling off in the near future. Stay tuned!

can I get the old one, since you don't need, it. Contact me and MAYBE I'm willing to take it for free, that's the offer no one can refuse.

Ken, that is one beautiful half. You are putting together a really terrific collection. Congratulations!

Just one problem, however: you traded in your No Motto half and the upgrade is a With Motto coin. What are you going to do about the No Motto gap in your set?

I guess fill it when I find a proof that I like! I have liquidated/traded a lot of my collection to try to acquire nicer pieces. Funny this all started with me wanting to put a Fine to Very Fine 7070 together! Ugh!
