I would really like to see the full obverse/reverse pairing of that coin. It's an interesting obverse color.
It's a great design, and your example looks to be lovely. I'd be careful saying that the low MS-graded ones you're seeing from pictures have...

Lovely cherry-picked price data there. :D Several more have sold for under than since the "all-time high" so far you quote from Sunday, May 17th...
