    This coin was featured in my Great Collections email today. It was just so jaw droppingly beautiful that I had to post it for everyone to enjoy.

    So, it sounds like you're going to be putting in a strong bid on that one, right Randy :greedy:

    Uuummmm.... No, that one is just a wee bit over spot. They would have to move the decimal over a few spaces before it would find its way into my wheelhouse!

    She is a beauty. At my frosh dorm ( Rodgers Quadrangle at Bowling Green State U. ) back in the day, I had posters of Cheryl Tiegs and Wonder Woman gracing my wall. A poster of Randy's coin here would have fit like a glove sandwiched in between those two.

    I was sort of wondering about that. With everything as it is right now, I’m not so confident that this would be the best time to auction such a high end piece. If I played in that league, I would sure be going after it though.

    And that's all it takes to start a bidding war. It is a beautiful piece.

    That coin is jaw dropping! I'd offer more than the $2.50 it's marked! ;)

    I'm surprised that there's no CAC sticker - that 144 year old scarce coin in excellent condition looks like it might deserve one or the other ;)
