    Wow! That's impressive. Thanks for sharing. I guess I'll go back to chasing the latest US mint offering with my tail between my legs.... lol I really like your strategy. Very unique.

    @ArthurK11 That's one lady to be proud of. She's a stunner. Your willpower certainly paid off nicely. And your taste is impeccable.

    Very nice! That's an amazing coin for a 61. Often "60 and 61" coins are problem pieces or are actually AU's but this seems to be a genuinely nice unc.

    Probably a dealer would do resubmissions, trying for a 62 grade. Also a very rare and important type of our 1st gold coins. I used to like eagles but now have been bidding on half eagles (unsuccessfully) as those were the real coins of commerce in the US. -- Congratulations; it looks a lot better than the slab grade.

    I agree it’s an amazing coin, but technically it looks more like a “very nice” AU coin which was upgraded to MS.

    Thank you everyone.

    I agree. I turned down a couple MS62s at the same price point because I didn't think they looked as nice. Very happy with this one.
