Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 578312, member: 6036"]I handled an MS65 as well ! Likely the same coin (there aren't many).  Here's a funny story... No lie - there I was, minding my own business, checking out auction lots. I was in a VERY high powered room full of folks WAY over my head (names withheld). My wife, a newbie, was checking auction lots for the first time. A couple of hours go by. Out of nowhere, my wife says "Here's an interesting one". The 1792 h10c MS65. I say "W-e-l-l-l-l-l honey, you certainly have good taste ! That's a 7-figure coin !" You can bet that perked up some attention amongst the Power Playahs ! One of 'em says "Lemmee see that thing !" Another looks out of the corner of her eye and casually says "Nah. $750 thousand - tops". Examining the coin closely, the other guy says "I'll take the under on that one..." My wife was in shock ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Now she has The Bug... :hug:[/QUOTE]
