Czar Nicholas, I presume...and a great looking coin!!
I couldn't agree more with you 'Gilbert'......the issue of diversification is always valid, but in my personal case a bit too late...since I have...
I hope we are all wrong in our expectations/opinions that the coin is a fake...getting a coin valued at between $2-$4,000 as you stated you did is...
I really like the posts and coins listed.....I think high grade and even proof issues are the best way to go for these types...Lots of eye appeal...
Also, use a high powered magnifier and examine the "S" on the '32 and see if you spot any 'soldering blotches'...often an "S" is removed and...

Beautiful coins guys!!! And 'WingedLiberty' I love the toned high-grade format you put together..i was thinking of doing something similar...It...
She does look like she is about to speak with her mouth full LOL...(RE: apple cheeks) Seriously though, I haven't heard that designation...
