    P.S. The pictures look "dull" because they were scanned. When I receive the coin, I will post better pics with its luster ;)

    Hope you got it at a repubatle dealer , other than the week denticles it looks ok , but that doesn't mean anything in todays world . Hope it's good cause it's a nice example .

    Yep! Got it at 100% authentic guaranteed. So if it is counterfiet (which I doubt it is), I can return it, without any loss :D

    Nice looking coin. I'd grade it about very fine. Congrats!

    Great because it is a nice example , nice to get it authenticated in case you ever want to sell or upgrade it , even for your own peace of mind , I got one showed it to a prominent dealer who wrote the Coin World article on recent Chinese fakes , was told he thought it was a counterfiet , turns out it's a rare die pairing with a small S MM . Lucked out on that one . Thanks to a fine member of CT .

    Actually, if you look close, it has strong denticles and a weak/worn rim. ;)

    Ribbit :)

    I have been trying to get one in UNC condition, but I had no luck at getting them at a price I wanted. So this came along, and it was affordable at an okay condition :)

    They get quite exspensive in MS for problem free examples cheapest I've seen for a nice one is $1,200 , and the ones they list at $6-800 in MS are impossible to find .
