Who are you? I'm joking! :) Congrats on 1k.
Good luck finding me. Good luck breaking in. If you do, have at my coins -- I keep all the expensive ones in the bank. I am not afraid.
p.s. my own comments on the coin are as follows: Nice toning, but not monster. Monocromatic light blue would turn off some collectors, and excite...
As for the coin in question now, did you (Chris) win it at auction, or via private transaction?
BINGO! And that's something that you can rarely, if ever, judge accurately from a photo. You just have to see them, IMO.
So instead of "butter face" it's now "butter toning"? :) FWIW, I agree and well said.
F-12? What was I thinking.... I was looking at the tiny versions of the photos (and they fooled me!). Just clicked the larger ones and I concur...

I will be there. :)

I'm guessing the overexposed photos make the coin appear lighter than it is. MS 63 BN
Is that really a monster? Nicer than the coin posted by the OP, to be sure, but I don't think Sunnywood when I see that coin. Am I wrong?
Toning is nice, but not remarkable, nor the type to pay the big bucks for. It's a bit "light" and not "neon enough" to fetch the big bucks....
I can't recall which was more expensive -- either a toned 1936 matte proof buff or a chain cent. I remember thinking when I bought both that it...
If you bid $500, then you won the coin. The $575 hammer is a $500 bid + 15% juice. Be patient, they will send you the coin, and then send you a...
p.s. what's the grade of the Buff? :D
IMO, you started down the right line of logic with your last post. The (a) series, (b) grade, and (c) look of the coin are most important...
Separate names with a comma.
