Even in this condition, this is a fairly expensive coin. I remember reading David Hall's advice and it went along the lines of buy the nicest coin that you can afford. I kind of agree with that advice. As far as what you should do in terms of whether you should bid on this coin, that's up to you to decide. What are your important priorities when it comes to your collection?

THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. 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."

They're very scarce but if I was going to be forking out that kind of money I'd want to buy a nicer example, if for no other reason than to ensure its future value. Of course, with only a hundred or so examples available to choose from, your options may be somewhat limited.

I got to see (and hold) a PCGS 62 'CURENCY' at the ANA show a few years ago; that was quite a treat!

They're quite mysterious and more than a bit controversial when it comes to exactly when, where, and why they were struck in the first place.

That coin sold for $2880, by far the lowest I've ever seen. If you know where to get a nicer one for the same price please let me know.

It wasn't sold when I posted my original reply, so I obviously had no way of knowing what it would sell for. I am very surprised that it sold for such a low amount even with its condition issues.
