[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2167585, member: 73165"]Based on reading his postings here, these reviews, and perusing his web site, I knew Mike was a well-respected dealer with a good eye for quality. I contacted him recently because he had two of the same coin in a series I'm collecting, one in his eBay store and one on ToughCOINS.com, both graded PCGS MS65 and similarly priced. I asked him which coin he thought was better. He told me he thought the one on eBay was better, even though it didn't have a CAC sticker and the other did. The coin I ended up purchasing, he described as having "a sharp strike, strong luster, and very clean surfaces," with attractive toning and an overall high-end coin. When I got the coin in hand, that's exactly what I received. :) It is without a doubt a high-end 65, and a "tough coin." I would not have been surprised to see it in a 65+ holder at a much higher price. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or a nicer coin for the money.[/QUOTE]
