Last week, I was in this guy shop and had this exact same beauty on my hand... It is just beautiful, still tried to bargain a bit and manage to get a nice price, but still a bit too much for my pocket.

You'd need to get a nice price.

The pictures show multiple contacts and wear to the high points. Difficult to tell with the photo angle but it also looks slightly edgy. There is also a not too attractive peripheral tone which is certainly in need of careful examination in the hand. At $800 you could certainly buy better.

yeap. that's true. coin looks better in hand than in picture. Still a very nice coin, on my opinion.

Discounted price was ok, but not amazing.

Cheers.

I'd agree - that series comes along reasonably frequently in high grade. If you hold on for a bit, a really nice one should come along. (If that particular coin looks much better in hand, the picture may be a scan, notorious for giving great detail but killing tone and lustre.)
