    I just received this one. Pulled it from a problem free anacs slab. It's not a phenomonal coin, but I'm quite pleased with it overall. Weakly struck reverse, but very pleasantly toned surfaces with underlying luster and great obverse detail. It really fits the look of my type set.

    Very nice... I'm guessing when you say problem free, it is original :D
    Very nice, very nice....

    And yes, I'd like to know what ANACS graded it, and if you going to send it in for re certification, or a cross over at NGC or PCGS?

    I'm thinkin' ANACS threw down an XF40 grade on this one.

    Nice coin ! I bet it's beautiful in-hand.

    Thanks guys! Actually ANACS gave it an AU-50. It may go slightly lower from a higher Tier TPG, but in my opinion, they are pretty close. The photos hide a lot of the luster, but there really isn't much wear on the coin. The motto and eagles head on the reverse are really weak, which is the only drawback I have with this coin.

    Probably not. See, I really just collect the slab stickers. The coins are just a nice bonus....:kewl:(just kidding).

    All of my coins go into the album to stay. I would only have it recertified if I needed to resell.

    very nice coin. AU looks like it. Weak strike, you never know with aother Slab company, but again it might come back as AU from them. Alot of detail beside the weak strike. Again very nice looking coin.
