<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 6065826, member: 19463&quot;]I feel you are extremely lucky to have two shots in five years at a coin that only has five in private hands.&nbsp; I have a few coins that are rare in that ballpark and would be surprised to see one sell that often.&nbsp; We all have to make the decision as to which of the points you mention are deal breakers.&nbsp; I do not mind having the best known of a rare coin even if it is not high grade.&nbsp; It is like school kids who hope a test will be graded on the curve so they can hope to pass and still miss a lot of questions.&nbsp; The coin is quite attractive.&nbsp; What are the other three like?&nbsp; Surely all known are not perfect???&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course there is always the question how we know how many of a coin there is.&nbsp; I knew people who had coins of merit who did not advertise the fact. They bought coins by private treaty.&nbsp; I always wonder if my coin I have owned for over 50 years is the longest tenured of its type or if there are half a dozen people out there that had theirs when I got mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
