[QUOTE="Skyman, post: 8176220, member: 28299"][USER=37839]@Morgandude11[/USER] [USER=22377]@ddddd[/USER] I never owned it. Pretty coin, but an absurd asking price if $7,000 is indeed correct (and let's not forget to add commission on top of that).

As an aside, while I do believe the coin is NT, there is essentially no height differential toning between the raised and lower portions of the hair and tiara sections of the design, which is often a diagnostic for monkey business with toning.
