[QUOTE="Cachecoins, post: 4717071, member: 111237"]I have had this coin for about a decade and it's been on my website for about as long. I do know what you mean about looking for that one coin of the type that checks off all those boxes. I don't buy multiples and I don't sell. I am more than willing to wait until that right one that catches my eye.

This coin is far from perfect and especially with this type, they never will be, but the details were clear enough and the price was worth it. All my coins go on display for public information. I have never made a penny off coins and do it only for the history they represent of money that is, in my opinion, as important if not more important than any other human endeavour.
