Yes I know, risky indeed. I kicked myself after bidding but figured what the hey? It'll be a learning experiance, as you see, I've never bought off of e-bay unless the product has been holdered or been in OGP. So I took a chance and I think that maybe I didn't do too bad. Tell me what you think and don't pull any punches. If you feel something's amiss with this coin please do tell..... Thanks for looking and commenting........
Looks like a very nice strike with decent luster! Are you thinking to submit the coin for grading to add to your early Commemorative collection you have going?
Nah, I'll keep it raw. Probably too much. A bidiot having one too many bourbons on a Friday nite.....
You done good on the pics and presentation too. Sauce or not. I think you did alright, all around with this piece. :thumb:
By far that is my favorite coin produced. I use to have a really nice one as well. I'll get another sooner or later
Ken: That is one really nice and clean(ed) coin. Just kidding. This one is on my to buy in 2011 list as well. I would submit it to PCGS though. TC
TC, I suspect it might have had a bit of a "dusting off" in the past but I don't believe it was harshly done.....
Great looking coin! Being an Illinois native, it's definitely on my dream list for my "Illinois Type Set".
