A fully-struck coin, and my coin. But if one is only looking at the label, does it really matter? ;)
It could go MS-65.
If I slab it and list it at 75% of retail price, I will get some dumb investor who will buy it and not know the difference.

Very nice write-up. I enjoyed the mythology lesson. I have a newspaper from December 1755 (written a month after the great Lisbon quake) that...
Beautiful coin and excellent historical background. I really enjoy posts that put these coins into historic context. It makes them more than just...

That's why I buy coins that I don't want to keep. For example, High-grade better-date IHCs are easy for me to flip (I got an EF 1871 for $75 and...
What I do is buy a lot of underpriced coins and then flip them for usually double or more of what I paid. I save up this profit to buy coins I...
