<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3133794, member: 56859&quot;]I think it&#039;s okay but my opinion is worth what you are paying for it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Have you considered using a dealer now that you&#039;re down to your last and more expensive acquisitions where the risk of a mistake is more costly?&nbsp;&nbsp; Seems like it would be well worth it now and a viable alternative to crowdsourcing authenticity opinions from other hobbyists.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did you compare it to all 300+ examples in ACsearch?&nbsp; I did and thought I&#039;d find other examples with that obverse die break but I came up empty, although perhaps I overlooked some.&nbsp; Your target coin does not have any prior auction sales in ACsearch.&nbsp; Style-wise and condition-wise it is definitely top tier, as the retail price tag reflects.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is interesting that, as the listing says, the dies appear fresh yet there is a die break on the obverse.&nbsp; The break looks thin (new) on this coin.&nbsp; Maybe the die fell apart soon after this coin was struck and that&#039;s why I didn&#039;t see any other coins with this break.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t looking closely enough to find non-broken die matches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
