    I'm asking $465 for this piece, which includes free domestic shipping within the USA.

    I will also consider appropriate swap offers. (So what's “appropriate", you ask? Well, I'll know that when I see it.)

    Karl Stephens did mention it was "lightly brushed" on the obverse, which is no doubt why it received a "cleaned" notation and details grade from NGC. However, said old cleaning is subtle, as you can see, and the coin has attractive old cabinet toning which compensates for that.

    I bought this at Mr. Stephens' table at the 2023 FUN convention in Orlando, and submitted it to NGC at the show, so it is freshly slabbed and just back from NGC.

    Here's a fun and informative little YouTube video a friend of mine created about these "Wildman" coins. (Not this coin in the video, but a similar type.)
