<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 3467473, member: 71642&quot;]I finally pulled off a huge want--it&#039;s a coin I have my &#039;coin savings account&#039; for.&nbsp; For me it&#039;s a good idea to have one account where I put my truly discretionary funds so when one of the big (for me...huge for some, small potatoes for others) want coins comes around I can buy it.&nbsp; On those rare occasions I actually sell something, well this is where those funds go.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Stacks had this coin in the Hong Kong auction.&nbsp; It&#039;s very hard to find this variety in this kind of grade (or any kind of grade if you are US based).&nbsp; The Japanese collectors seem to be skewing heavily towards PCGS so I suspect this played a part in being slightly more &#039;affordable&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>My photos are not glamour shots, they seem to emphasize the warts on coins while minimizing the nicer bits.&nbsp; This is a pretty luster-y coin, not perfect by any means, but super satisfactory.&nbsp; And I finally got to finish my type I, II, and III graphic without using &#039;artist renditions&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]922181[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And my new graphic.&nbsp; I may have to rethink the arrows, but I was using them to show where the different bits are.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]922182[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
