This made me chuckle. My first 6 cars also cost less (way less) than my biggest coin purchase. To be fair, I can say the same about my bicycle. Nice coin!
I'll bet you were so giddy that you couldn't sleep. The excitement of the hunt and then the chase, and finally the capture, is exhilarating. Nice job my friend!
That dollar will hold a special place in your collection for a long time. Lovely coin, and I don't see any of the rim dings that these are prone to.
Really nice pickup! This must be the coin envy coin geek was talking about the other day. Lol Has a great look to it. With a 423k mintage it appears many have survived. NGC has had 4500 of this year go through that got details graded and 2300 have been through that straight graded. With around 800 receiving a VF grade. It stands to reason that being a higher denomination, people must have protected these a little more than dimes and cents with similar mintages from the time period.
That is a nice, wholesome looking piece. Many Bust Dollars have been cleaned through the years. Back in the 1960s and early '70s, "bright white" was often he look many collectors wanted.
