<p>[QUOTE="GoldCoinLover, post: 510390, member: 4336"]Got this coin from mark feld last year for $1200. Good deal. I had someone mention the hairlines on it, who hadn't seen it before, probably caused by either circulation or a light wipe. Doesn't bother me, because obviously NGC deemed it acceptable and so did CAC. I actually showed it to several people in real life who didn't even notice itwhen I mentioned it. It's by far my favorite coin, I enjoy it very much, especially the semi PL surfaces, and I should get it pedigreed mark feld! By the way, as i've heard, and experienced first hand, mark feld is a top notch guy. Honest, caring, he initially didn't want to sell me the coin and actually turned down the sale because he saw how obessed I became over coins that I owned and would rather have me upset at him for not selling it to me than to me be upset over the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually, well, I guess he changed his mind because he wanted to give me a chance, and a coin to enjoy, and sold it to me. i traded him my 1904 MS62 PCGS double eagle for it, as well as around $150.
