There is a coin auction tomorrow and once I can get some other coin folk to confirm my find, I will be sending them into PCGS.
Therefore, my only comment to your original post would be that this guy must be a really, really, really big fans of IKEs and knows everything inside and out of the coin to determine that he had something special. To someone like myself, I may have noticed something out of line, but wouldn't have thought about it being a pattern coin. Its the same as those individuals who are big Morgan lovers and can pick out a VAM with a quick glance. To me, they would all look the same. You have to really know every aspect of the coin in question to identify something as unique as that.
PS - and yes, I did read the article and thought it was really neat and only hope one day I can be as fortunate.
