Just pulled the trigger on a coin that I really couldn't resist

I swore I'd never buy another coin from this one seller who posts washed out deceptive photos of coins, but this one is already graded. 1886P MS65PL, NGC. I have about 8 MS, BU already of this year and mint, but this one completes the superfecta, will be my 4th 1886 MS with the variety VAM1-C, Hot 50, 3+2 clash. I have 1 in the safe already (MS67), two more raw ones with PCGS being graded, this makes #4. I will send it to PCGS to be crossed over so the label will be on the front of the slab. Being prooflike sealed the deal, I sniped high at the bell and got it for just under PCGS list price for an unattributed coin. I wouldn't have given it a second look but I immediately saw the pickup points including one not listed in the literature, the two small clashes on top of the olive wreath.
Thought about posting in new acquisitions but this one is special to me. Once I get them all back from grading I'll post all 4 in this thread. I'm tickled! Humor me.
