Here's the candidate, freed from an ICCS MS62 Lustrous Brown flip: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] As you can see, the reverse is spotted with nasties, but...
So, I've had this coin on layaway from Pinnacle Rarities. I paid off the layaway the other day, and true to form they shipped it the same day....
I'm on DLRC's mailing list, and this coin was in today's "Coins We Love." I've reproduced DLRC's images below. It's adjudicated "VF Details,...
