Update...the auction is in progress right now. This coin graded AU-58. High bidder at the moment is $2250. Auction ends at 10:00pm so we'll see where it ends up. And this is why this is the "Big One" in my book.

Final price was $2600...and the buyer also paid a 15% buyers fee so total was $2990. This is a record for the grade. WooHoo !!!

Thanks for the picture. The cherrypicker's guide doesn't give a very good one.
Great find. This goes to show that knowledge does pay off.
With my luck, I probably had one when I was a kid and dropped it in the yard while playing treasure hunter.
I like work; it fascinates me.
I can sit and look at it for hours.

I should add that a big reason for the high price was the grade..AU58. That is the maximum for PCGS Everyman Registry Set so AU coins have had a price jump in that respect. The guy that handled my coin says he saw an MS-63 go for around $1700. He caters to the Registry collectors so I'm glad to have found him.
