If the cleaned VF-XF coins are getting $175-185, you did well with that one. I'd call it a cleaned AU with decent strike.
A couple circulated 78 7TF. Should be able to pay for dinner at Señor Frog's.
Just got back from the FUN show, greeted by Mother Nature having coated the entire area in a nice mirror glaze. I'm thankful I didn't decide to...
