My coin purchases have slowed way down in the past couple years. I do see an interesting piece here and there and decided to pick this one up so I can still claim I am a coin collector. The gold toning is very rich on this one. The doubling is VERY minor on these. Out of the 5 graded by NGC, I now have 2 of them.
