You can buy many very nice matte proof pieces for significantly less than the coin linked in the first post. These coins were not made in great...
I'll go off the beaten path and include something different- [IMG]
I would run like heck away from that coin, based upon its images, and would tell my clients to do the same. Please note that I adore matte proof...
I believe PCGS CoinFacts estimates 1,250 or so in existence.
About ten years ago I purchased an otherwise quite attractive, EF-ish 1790-something US dollar from a seller in England. I paid only $200 or so...

That's pretty and I love the orange skin near the rim.
I am a member of the ANS, but I would not suggest membership to casual collectors. It is more for hardcore researchers or those who prefer...
They will never see those coins. The seller hasn't sold on ebay in three years, has low feedback, does not specialize in coins and never sold...
