    Found this at the Polish American Numismatic coin club show down in Troy, MI this weekend.

    This was unexpected but very much happy I was able to see it first!

    Some of the other coins I picked up are included here too!

    I dont think I've ever seen a circulated indian with that level of rim toning. Unique and sort of sets of the design.

    In-hand, I assume it mostly a blackish in color, or does it really show as purples/blues/greens?

    I'm curious is that in a straight grade slab, raw, or other?

    Wow that has got to be one of, if not the #1, most bad ass $10 Eagles I've ever seen! Holy wow! How does Gold even tone like that? Must be the copper or impurities possibly? Gorgeous! Nice other picks too!

    These are all beautiful. Your YT video surprised me on the Indian, wasn't expecting there to be any luster remaining, and I figured it would be obviously cleaned. Toned gold that is straight-graded will always sell for a premium!

    Did you send it to PCGS or NGC?

    The NGC pics show the luster better. Very nice coin!

    I wanted to get one, but by the time I was ready, gold jumped up double. People don't have gold inventory and those that do are now, charging double what it was in January. I think I'll keep my little bit of gold. Anybody have an idea about what silver is going to do? Thankfully, I'm married to a retired school teacher and she has retirement income from the state and social security. Anybody get their $1,200? or those married, $2,400, plus up to $500 for each brat you're having to raise.
    Anyway, that is a gorgeous coin. Great job!

    You should be able to buy these coins at less than a 100% markup from January levels.

    I see lots of gold coins flat-to-down from a few months ago even with gold itself rising.

    That it doesn’t happen very often, if at all. It’s magical and majestic, like a unicorn, or @GDJMSP actually liking someone’s posts.

    Unicorn is a highly uncommon, rare, especially desirable, or otherwise very distinctive purchase.

    The "unicorn" is slightly lower on the scale than the more-desired "white whale."
