<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 123798, member: 2972&quot;]Update:&nbsp; I received the coin earlier this afternoon.&nbsp; It is simpily stunning.&nbsp; The pictures do not at all reflect what the coin looks like in hand.&nbsp; The toning is more impressive, but what really struck me is the luster on the coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen a few satin proofs that didn&#039;t have half the luster this coin has.&nbsp; The strike is much, much stronger than the photos indicate.&nbsp; Distractions on the coin include numerous miniscule toning/carbon spots more numerous on the obverse, and what looks like a small hit on the buffalo&#039;s shoulder on the reverse.&nbsp; Neither distraction is visible to the naked eye.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen a satin proof that has been given a * rating, but I truly believe this coin deserves it.&nbsp; It is in an old, typewritten NGC holder from around 1999.&nbsp; Needless to say I will be keeping the coin, and I will post some photos this evening.&nbsp; Until then, take care...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
