I have found that very few dealers will fulfill wantlists. You might also try on the PCGS BST forum.
A few years earlier or a few years later,and that would have been quite a bit harder. However, that's one of the few coins that's easy to spot...

Man, I've really taken a dive in the rankings. :( Time to buckle-down!
Unzoom the pic. ;)
