slava1stclass Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Gents, Currently available on the well-known auction site for a BIN asking price of $11,000.00. Before you rush off to log on to your PayPal account, however, note that like the Glory 1st in post #212 above, this is an unissued example. How it got out of the mint is an entirely different matter... Regards, slava1stclass Gents, See post #362 above. He's currently listing it as an open auction with no reserve. Opening bid is $9,500.00. Regards, slava1stclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slava1stclass Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Rogi, While unusual, it is not uncommon to see this darker coloration in isolated locations of a given specimen. The Glory 1st in the attached images is within 200 serial numbers of s/n 2174 and exhibits this same dark blotching around the eyelet (both sides). For me, this patina is less of a concern as to s/n 2174's originality. Again, just because s/n 2174 was an unissued piece doesn't mean it was handled with kid gloves once it left the mint's door. Regards, slava1stclass Gents, Another example of dark patina found near/around the eyelet. It's not as uncommon as one would think.
