Maybe I’ll cool my jets, then. Thanks to those who provided analysis.
I was admiring this one (5 grade points lower and $1,000 more) when my best numismatic friend offered me the one above.
Would you, if you had $3,500 of my money to spend? https://www.pcgs.com/cert/36626311 [ATTACH] PCGS priceguide says $5,000. This exact coin...
Indeed, that has nice toning. Nice strike, too. I used to own another with nice toning, but it was lower grade than the one in the OP above.
Because it was a pattern, not a regular issue.

This contest is only for stuff found since June 1st of this year, so that’s not permitted, but it’s a great find, and especially nice for a dug one!

I think the Cupid chariot is a perfect companion piece! PS- one wonders who left their lyre in the road, eh?
Still looks plenty cool with some wear on it.
I’ve always liked this type. Pile on with your examples, if you’ve got ‘em. [ATTACH]
Unless something really cool comes up in the next three finds, I’ve pretty much made up my mind on what I’ll be voting for.
Very cool. And a somewhat better date, too, if I remember correctly?
