That was before they stopped accepting coins that weren't slabbed by the top four firms. Yo will also notice in their write up that they pretty much agreed with the SEGS grade.
I'm familiar with mebane auction they sell some pretty high level antiques too I see their ads in my trade papers tho I've never been is to far away. Is very cool you got to hold one on my dream coins!!
It was pretty nice. Had my pic taken with it too. Since I know the owner of the auction house and he helped me get my NGC dealer acct he let me take the pics, etc. probably never hold a coin like that again.
