    I won this at auction in Australia today and it has mottled toning and is clearly MS something. I see there were only 78,000 minted and according to NGC it trends[​IMG] at $380 in MS60 but I am hopeful of something quite a bit better. Thanks for looking, marbury

    @marbury518 Every time you post now I just know it's going to be something good. Heck of an improvement since your first posting here, which wasn't a bad pickup itself but someone (who has since vanished) turned it into a debacle by beating the "I swear it's an error worth thousands" drum. Remember that? :) I'm glad you didn't let that person dissuade you from collecting, and that they didn't scare you away from us here.
    Again, I truly enjoy seeing your new pickups (jealousy aside ;) ) and thank you for sharing.

    Thanks so much but unless it slabs really well I will have over paid. The mottled toning won't appeal to some collectors of course. At a 64 I might break even, oh well.
