It seems like they update the price on Wednesdays. With the drop in gold price you may get it lower cost next week. They were down to about $1900...
Beautiful coin!
With new information I updated my photo. This is fun nailing down a coin with so much specific information! [IMG]
I'd looked at Alibaba once, but forgot about it. I'll bet that's what Detecto was talking about. Chinese outfit.
That Eagle Eye confirmation from Rick Snow is a nice one to have!

It does sound like the coin may have had the reverse covered in glue at one time. Just a guess based on the above. If so, maybe it's the glue that...
Congrats on doing well in Atlantic City! It is indeed difficult to find coins of that age with no scratches, and the price goes up astronomically...
green18 - thanks for the link. I think I had seen that one, but didn't save the link. Now I did! There was another 1861-O that looked like (from...
