<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1042232, member: 2972&quot;]Seasnake wins.&nbsp; I paid $1250. </p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly enough, after looking at Heritage archives to try and get a gauge on the values in today&#039;s market versus that of years past, I came across this auction listing in 2004:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=277&amp;Lot_No=7838#Photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=277&amp;Lot_No=7838#Photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=277&amp;Lot_No=7838#Photo</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I submit this is the coin I now own, and it sold for $897 in 2004.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;It is a bit dark, and this darkness does impact the luster in some areas.&nbsp; Then again it&#039;s only a 64, so I can live with it.&nbsp;&nbsp; My sense is that I overpaid a smidge, but frankly was happy to do so.&nbsp; Isabella&#039;s are found toned quite often, but rarely in a way that appeals to me. This coin really appealed to me when I first saw it in Mark Feld&#039;s inventory, but Lee beat me to it.&nbsp; A few years later I was lucky enough to purchase it from Lee (along with a few other coins) at the same price, and I was happy to do so.&nbsp; I also suspect I won&#039;t have much trouble getting rid of it and at least breaking even, but time will tell.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
