i use to own one in ms 62 , i tell ya even in this condition its worth the 289$ id pay 320 at most

 

Yes, if I were in the market. A couple of gouges, but otherwise a nice planchet with no environmental damage and honest wear to VG-ish. I'd have rather seen it at $350, but unless we're talking 4-figure purchases I don't see a price difference of ~10-15% as a stopper for something I like.

 

Hey; you now own it. Don't look back, look forward to your next purchase.

 

No, I *don't* own it... I just missed it because I was juggling my funds to get the $

 

I have a simple philosophy on bidding. If it does not go for the price I set or lower, I do not buy.
The only exceptions are if I really like the coin, if it has toning with very high eye appeal, or if they are rarely offered. I have paid over maybe what the coin is worth, but not often.

I think you made the right choice, don't second guess yourself.

 

in that low of a grade its findable in massive quanities on ebay and just about every auction site,,

 

Looks like a 17-S, R-9 ( 125-249 )The die break in the 6th link makes me think that . hope this helps.

 

Nope. Wouldn't purchase it, as I have no interest in collecting them. Whatever I do collect, I only buy high grade

 

17-S is my thought as well - die markers for both are present. Kessler lists a conditional rarity of 5+ in VF.

 

Really? I'd love for you to find one for me. (I'm serious)

I've been looking for more than 6 months now and most Fugio's I see under $400 have serious issues or are AG-G.
