You forgot to guess on the 1898. ;)
Wow! That slab shot really improves the look of the coin. It just goes to show you how lighting can really make or break a coin. This GTG will...
I think you got a good deal on it. I'll guess $25.00
Nice looking images, I can see some room for improvement, but they are not big steps. :) I'd guess it's a 64 from the images, I'd call it a...
Sorry @baseball21 I already have that guess. :)
I'll go $275.00
I'd call it AU and it's RB. However, AU coins are not typically assigned a color designation, so it really does not matter.
$329.00 was the actual sale price. You can copy and paste the item number and search it on watchcount.com to get the actual price an item sold for.

They do award gold on the rare occasion... [ATTACH]

Here are some larger images for those of you would like to try to VAM it. @LuxUnit gave me permission to add these for him. :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
PCGS MS-64 I'd say you paid around $105 - $115 for it. :) Can't VAM it for you as the images are not high enough resolution to see the details...
Now $485.00 2011 $525.00 Difference: $40.00
This is exactly what I do, I make many adjustments in positioning of my lights until I see the results I like.
I use the Jansjo lights along with the Coinsafe half dollar tubes for diffusion. The half dollar tube fits directly over the head of the Jansjo...
I would not argue at all with the MS-68 designation this got. Compared to the 66 you showed, it prompted me to change from my initial guess of 66...
Separate names with a comma.
