Who? You? me and who dat? How ,bout that Isabella came out of no where I think At ANA and My first bid happen to be the last. Didn't plan on buying but very happy to have won!
All I can say is WOW!! I only dream that I could afford coins of this magnitude.. That piece is simply gorgeous and your description of mauve-gray is perfect . I think a Shelby Mustang Cobra in that exact color would be a perfect fit to carry that piece around in your glove box Congrats !
Wasn't sure at first about this coin, but it grew on me and I kept going back to it and decided to bid.,what do you think about it?
I'm may have bitten off more than I Can Chew but decided to add Proof $2.50 when ever possible.,but please don't tell anybody
