http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...refresh=trueI BARELY won the coin (by like $1)...was hoping for a bit lower and I know I bid a little high but I liked the coin and I've had a lot of trouble finding a nice one around that range. What do you guys think?

Yeah, I liked the toning and I would have been very upset had I been outsniped....but thankfully not!

Price was on the high side, but the color is nice and the strike is great. Well-bought; it'd get a CAC sticker instantly.

That is a beauty! Wish it were mine. Even though it was expensive, it is in a PCGS holder - no worries. Congrats!

From all the bids it sure did look like it is a wanted coin. Really nice looking.

I actually haven't seen much of these with any color, they seem to almost be universally flat tan.

I have a decent example in my type set, but yours is decidedly nicer. EX PCGS AU-55. Are you going to leave it slabbed, or put it in a DANSCO?   |

Its definitely going in the dansco, I have no plans to ever upgrade it really if it looks anything like it does in the pictures. But we will see.

Johnny,
Yours is really nice for the grade, by the way. I see the light wear but it has ultra clean surfaces for an AU.

Graaaaaagh the date is half mangled by some planchet flaw damage, totally kills the eye appeal of an otherwise amazing coin that glistens and rainbows under the light.
HATE returning it but I have to.
