    I've been wanting one of these in UNC. but haven't been able to find one for a reasonable price. I found this one at $74 and wanted to get thoughts on it. So, any thoughts on price v.s. condition and general comments about this coin?

    Fair price for the grade and eye appeal, as long as it looks as good in hand. A bit concerned about that white crud around 12 to 3 o'clock.

    I had similar concerns about that toning break, not sure what caused it.

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    My favorite technical term.

    Thinking I may have to pass. I'm not thinking it's worth the risk- not a huge fan of the terminal toning and I think it's too late to be removed alongside the wierd luster break in the toning
