As a collector I'm looking to upgrade my collection when I can at a good price. I have a nice XF45 of this coin so this would have been an upgrade. However, I was concerned with the look of the reverse. Someone else must not have been bothered because it is now delisted and I assume sold for $110.</p><p> </p><p>I also have some concern as to why the dealer wouldn't send the coin to PCGS. If the coin grades out even at an MS60 it should sell close to double what he got for it.
