While I understand your point with the auction prices realized, the fact remains that the price guides are comparable which negates any chance of...
Mark, Doug actually found a way to express my point more succinctly than I ever could. You are correct that there was no mention of the PCGS...
That is why I asked if you are serious about bidding. If you plan to bid $900+, I will stay out of your way, but please don't think you are going...
You know I am.
I think it meets the requirement for FH. Having said that, the FH designation does not mean the the overall quality of the strike is strong.
Goldstone, Are you a serious bidder on this coin? You aren't going to get a good deal on this coin, it will go for a premium. At a minimum...

Believe it or not, those are gouges on Liberty's face. Although, that particular photo makes them look worse than they really are. Despite that,...
I have seen numerous ASE's with that look and each time I see another, I become more and more suspicious about the origins of the toning.
