<p>[QUOTE="Barney McRae, post: 26430811, member: 150594"]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.</p><p>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!
