Even nicer than I thought!

I've been looking for a nice example of the Type 1 1913 Nickel for a couple months. I passed up several on Teletrade because they were either out of my price range or I just didn't like the way they looked (I wanted a full-struck date, especially the leading "1"). I found one last week well within my price range, and still graded at PCGS MS65. Upon requesting some clearer and close-up pictures, I decided to pull the trigger. It came today, and it's beautiful by all measures. I added a picture below.

On a different note, I got a great deal on a very scarce modern coin last night. I'm going to keep the details hush until I have it in hand, but I wanted to express a bit of my excitement here. Let's hope it isn't too good to be true, but it did ship today! Should be here next week! It will be a nice addition to one of my more competitive sets.

I love this hobby!

Happy collecting all!
