What can I say...I guess I bought myself a Christmas present.

I was in the process of negoiating on this coin and sent in four coins as a downpayment to hold the coin for thirty days so I could pay for it after the first of the year when I can dip into my IRA again. Lo and behold, the postman brings me a package (he didn't have to ring twice) and there it was, an 1893-S in VF30 (PCGS) with some very nice toning. What a surprise! Needless to say this coin has been on my wishlist for about fifty years (no exaggeration needed, yes I am that old). I have always believed in miracles but.....

Merry Christmas all!!
