<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 4789877, member: 24091&quot;]PCGS census shows this Dav-8386 dated 1879 as population of (1), a single coin in MS63.&nbsp; Pretty sure that is actually this coin, now residing in a PCGS MS64 holder after being submitted for grade reconsideration but not yet updated in the census.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s up for auction next month at Nomisma Spa in San Marino, with an opening bid of €5,000 --or about $6,000 plus the juice.&nbsp; Possibly better struck than mine, the head detail on John The Baptist is for certain superior to my coin.&nbsp; Still, not sure if I would call this a true MS64 coin by any stretch without seeing it in-hand first.&nbsp; Looks like possible traces of PVC damage on the high points or maybe the greenish patina is natural??&nbsp; Also, interesting that Davenport is no longer good enough for them, they instead attributed it by the MIR number.&nbsp; Isn&#039;t there a Biaggi number out there somewhere for this coin as well?&nbsp; Haven&#039;t seen it attributed as such in any past auction.&nbsp; Also, what is NGSA 30 years and why should I care?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1164183[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
