Imagine how many cool coins you could buy for that amount. I wouldn't buy one coin like that, even if I could
Guess you never sweated through a New Orleans summer. I would at least need to get a window unit for the tent.
I apologize if I misunderstood, but I am so curious, what was the actual last price paid for that exact coin? Its incredible. Do you have the ability to take high res photos? I would sincerely appreciate that if it all possible. Coin like that needs...it wants....to be photo'd
With all honesty - if I didn't read the year on the coin, I thought it was struck within the last decade. WOW.
When I first looked at it, I thought it was a modern restrike or something, the date didn't process for me. Then I looked again, and I just couldnt believe it. I think it was seeing all of the descriptive adjectives at the top which is common on modern slabs. It really is just an incredible piece.
The realized price for that piece was as I said, $172,500.00 and those photos I posted are the exact same coin. http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/lot_auc.php?site=1&sale=75&lot=2148&lang=1
That's funny. One of the dealer's employees told me it looks so perfect to him that when he first saw it, he swore it was a tribute proof.
Whenever I see a coin like this I like seeing what else was in the submission. There's another pf69 ultra cameo with a star among other older proofs.
