Message:: [QUOTE="Mark T, post: 864440, member: 20061"]Mike this was more luck then anything else. Thank you for the compliments on my coins. Long story short. I picked the 1913 up on EBAY from Saratoga Springs .It was August of 2008 , I think either a lot of people were on vacation or no one was paying attention as the auction on the coin had little activity. I thought it was probably at least MS 62 so I bid accordingly. Usually their coins get bid up so I was surprised I won it for $ 400. Their description even said that this coin was one of the best they had seen. When I received the coin I noticed it was rather nice so I took it into my local dealer for an assessment. He is very conservative and thought it was an MS 63 . Well it came back from PCGS as an MS 64 . I took it to Coin Fest where CAC certified it . I had a chance to talk with Bill Shamhart about all the coins I brought in for CAC to look at. He called this particular coin a high end MS 64. The luster on this coin is outstanding , my pictures can not do the coin justice as it is one of those you need to see in hand to really appreciate. [/QUOTE]
