<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1514932, member: 26030&quot;]Hey brg, thanks for your interest.&nbsp; Actually I got a great discount on this coin and was VERY HAPPY with my final price.&nbsp; Ultimately the only thing that is important to me is that <b>I LOVE</b> this one !!!!!!!!!! And the fact that three professional graders at PCGS blessed this as having Market Acceptible Color (and not Questionable Color) is good enough of a confirmation for me.&nbsp; I am kind of amazed that the PCGS graders didn&#039;t knock the grade down slightly due to any very slight hesitancy on their part (stamping this with a near PERFECT MS69 grade).&nbsp; A rare (PCGS) grade in the colorfully-toned ASE realm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether or not this, or any colorfully toned coin, was cooked or if the toning happened &quot;naturally&quot; is always a matter of opinion and until someone comes up with some technology that can hide a microscopic camera in the recesses of a coin&#039;s surface and produce a 24/7 digital recording of a coin&#039;s entire history, these kinds of questions will always just be idle fodder for the coin forums and a way to pass the time.&nbsp; I suppose there are worse ways to pass time!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What can I say.&nbsp; I love this and feel I got a great price on it.&nbsp;&nbsp; If it brings me joy when I look at it, that&#039;s all that matters (to me).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I agree that little crown will be coming off the minute I get this stunner in hand.&nbsp; If it&#039;s not a CAC sticker, I dont want to see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I did post this on the PCGS forums and had people post their colorful ASE monsters ... it was a fun look. Would I trade my new pickup for any of those colorful ASEs&#039;s posted, I have to say not (though some were close calls)&nbsp; ...&nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=864900" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=864900" rel="nofollow">http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=864900</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/2006_Slab_O.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
