The beautiful coin in the picture comes from eBay seller wybrit and is in uncirculated condition with very pleasant gold-green toning. At one time Wybrit had this coin at auction starting at $450 US dollars. That is a lot of money, but it is a lot of coin. It is certified by PCGS, the premier numismatic grading service.
