    Well, if Rick concludes it's a Proof, it's a Proof whether I don't get that vibe from one set of images or not. :)

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I would have absolutely no problem selling this one. It is cool, it is incredibly rare, it is very valuable.... but it isn't what I collect. I can get the thrill of owning it for a bit, but it really doesn't fit my collection. That is a *lot* of money to have tied up in a coin that I don't collect. I could sell this one and buy something that does fit my collection (and which would normally be out of my price range).

    Even better, whoever broke loose the considerable value of this one would be guaranteed to appreciate it far more than yourself, so it's a win all around. Heck, I bet Rick Snow would have interested buyers off the top of his head.

    I sold my best Fleagle to DVRC about 10 years ago . . . An NGC MS65 with extraordinary P/L qualities. I tried resubmission as a proof a couple of times, but to no avail. One of those coins I'd forgotten about until I read your thread. Good luck . . .

    Wow. It's not something I need for my collection either but I would love to see it at Fun. You have to pass that one around the table before you sell it. Really cool. I'll bet it will buy a coin or two for your PL collection.

    I definitely understand your reasoning. I'm not sure what I'd do, because I'm not in this situation. I can guess as to what I'd do, but I can't really say for sure.

    Good luck with the coin!
