I've always insisted that the way to purchase this coin is slabbed and authenticated. So why did I purchase THIS coin from a total stranger at a very good price??

Because its beautiful

You're just a rule breaking kind of guy.

That looks like a nice 16d. Enjoy it.

Thanks guys! Actually, it was the die markers on both obverse and reverse at 6 o'clock which indicated die #2 variety -- under my stereomicroscope I could clearly see the 'notch' in the upper left corner of the 'D', indicative of the D/D variety which is consistent with the die markers.

You bought it because you could tell it was real.

Thank you Dr. Bunny...

Maybe you bought it because you just had to have one. ;-)

You bought it because you knew if you screwed up you could come to CoinPeople and confess what you did and we would still be your friends!!! NICE coin.
