    Sorry for my bad camera skills....but im really starting to get to like these...kind of a deviation from what i normally collect. But, this one was just to nice to resist... tmp_14405-20170204_222226-1918437750.jpg tmp_14405-20170204_2224431199398734.jpg

    It looks good. May I ask how much you paid for it?

    Thanks guys! Brings back memories of the old cigar box of wheaties i have from my childhood! Im thinking that im going to build a small set (1 per date) from 1909 to 1933. Then, i may just branch out into all mintmarks to fill in the remaining holes. Idk...we shall see!

    It's a remarkably affordable coin, especially considering I think there's a total of only one in 67RB. Something over $300 probably did it. Big Money wants Reds, and the far more appealing (IMO) RB's and BN's go cheap as a result.

    It's beautiful, and there doesn't look to be any chance of arguing the grade.

    Thanks SuperDave! Yes, you are correct in pricing, just a hair under $300. And, i agree with you about the rb. I love the way the color appears in hand, and to my eye, it is more visually appealing than many reds!

    You did well indeed if you got it for <$300. Terrific pickup.

    I'm sorry but that's a $200 coin. I'm not looking at price guides, just the few auction results out there. Maybe I'm wrong and not seeing other results.
