    That's a doozy to get off a want list. Still decent meat on it. Congrats

    Great piece of early Americana. I'm a little jealous, but happy for you.
    The detail in the wings is cool....I think it looks better than the Photograde VG10.

    Thanks.at first I was concerned about hairline across the cheek but when you look at is not as present compared to the photo. I think I did good and I like it. Great detail for a VG10

    It’s funny - my wife thinks the coin is ugly but she sees coins more in the XF to MS65 perspective. But this was a coin I wanted after my weight loss

    Congrats on the weight loss and congrats on this beautiful early piece. Worth saving up to get that wing and hair detail for sure. Wonderful color as well.

    Thanks guys. This was a tough decision but I have remorse buying this. I continue to exercise butNot always easy to keep the weight. Need to avoid the chips and sweets.

    That is an absolutely beautiful pickup @Dimedude2
    Congrats on that score, and more importantly, on your weight loss. Hopefully you'll get to enjoy that prize piece a lot longer now.
