<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7831197, member: 105571&quot;]Picked this up in last week&#039;s Heritage auction.&nbsp; Their photos showed a nice coin that would be a good upgrade for my Type Set.&nbsp; When I got the coin yesterday, I was stunned by its beauty in hand.&nbsp; Neither the HA photos nor my own attempts (attached) can really capture the luster, flash and eye appeal of this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Admittedly, the coin displays some &quot;tired-die&quot; syndrome at the dentils and the obverse K3-5 stars.&nbsp; But there are very few hits on the coin and they are not visible to the naked eye.&nbsp; Liberty&#039;s effigy is colored a steel-grey with red tints in the low areas around the letters.&nbsp; This contrasts with the lustery reddish-brown fields to present an almost cameo-like appearance.&nbsp; The reverse is no less appealing.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I looked at it, I couldn&#039;t help but wonder why this was graded 64.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen many much worse 64s and 65s that wouldn&#039;t be nearly as nice as this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I only indulging in &quot;I own this coin&quot; prejudice?&nbsp; I&#039;d be happy to hear your opinions even if you think I&#039;m fantasizing.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345654[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1345655[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1345656[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
