[QUOTE="rld14, post: 482526, member: 16133"]Frank, Problem with these is that I don't think there IS a high grade one that's well struck. Jay Cline says that 12 Full Head coins exist, Between PCGS and NGC there's 8 in MS64, 3 in MS63 and 39 in any grade. I'll go out on a limb here and say that at LEAST 1/3 of those are crackouts or crossovers. This particular one is one of the worst that's been market graded FH (If we were discussing, say, the 1930 or so then I don't think that ANY of them would be FHs) but the best one really isn't much better, there's only one with a really well defined ear hole that I have seen and that coin has a lot of hits on it, it's also the one that last sold 8 years ago for $149,500! Regardless, if I decide that I am seriously interested I will fly down there to look at it in person. Reality is, I think I will probably pass on it. This is the coin that I WANT and the one that really has me losing sleep.. [URL]http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1121&Lot_No=3801[/URL] It sold for $97k in 05, and about $75k last year. 3 exist in this grade, One of which I understand won't see the market for decades, the other has toning that I don't like and isn't as well struck.
