    Alas, I briefly considered it, but it was not me: (1) above my price range, and (2) overpriced even with the insanely beautiful toning (though I suspect this coin is darker in hand from other photos I've seen). Note that this coin sold at auction for 1400ish in a 66fb gold CAC holder last year. I'm still kicking myself that I was unable to win it back then.

    All is well that ends well. I ended up buying this lustrous, toned 38D 67+FB CAC for $576. I am pretty happy with this guy for the price ;) Everything is a trade-off: you have to save your dough so that you can immediately pull the trigger when a more reasonably priced beauty comes up.

    Is it really worth that?

    That is the ultimate question that the buyer has to decide. With it being sold someone thought so or they made an acceptable offer which was my plans. 67+ fb is about $550-600 coin, the price of the toning is debatable

    I couldn't resist it. Especially when the dealer showed it to me on his website listed for $2950!

    That would have been a ridiculous price.
