Any win is great! While I don't have any experience with this series, I would tend to agree with the EAC grade rather than the NGC grade, but that's just me.
Very nice coin @kanga! I didn't bid on anything this year. I think the EAC Net Grade was a little harsh on this coin. The EAC catalog had this description of Lot 131: "Pleasing original medium brown surfaces, smooth and glossy with frost through the flowlines. A few thin scratches on the obverse a spot of darker color above the coronet tip. The reverse is choice." Now you just need to polish that scratched-up slab. Great pick up.
