Add me to the list. This sums up my experience perfectly. I don't collect these modern coins and was willing to risk not getting a set by...
Mike, I don't own the coin. I have stated that twice in the thread.
That is the same price that I thought when I saw the coin. And yes, it is one heck of a coin. If it were and MS67 instead of an MS66, I would...
