My new side-grade

Hi All,
I took a chance on this one at the Roxbury Auction.
It was advertised as Red and Brown, PCGS MS64, they didn't note the colour. I should have asked before I bid but I did bid quite late.
Turned out it was a BN, and since I already have an MS64BN I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be a great coin, way better than my existing one.

Nice coin. Pretty good strike. The better 1952s i have are badly struck on the obverse.

Great effort. it is always a thrill when you win something when you did not expect to

I'm very happy with it. The one it replaced is on eBay now.

The blue sheet value for this coin seems extremely high.

I think for an RB coin, it may get close to that value. For a BN coin it would depend on the coin.
At the end of the day the price for any coin will settle on what 2 people think it is worth.

Yes that's correct, the MS64BN is worth considerably less.
