My dear friend, I hope that you are not holding your breath.
Looks like an MS67 coin to me. And I like the toning.
Magically all of the hits and marks disappeared in the seller's images. ;) I'm glad you're happy...and I'm glad you saw the Heritage images...
Jason I have plenty experience interpreting images. This coin looks homely to me at best. I think the images were taken to expose the slab...
