Great mail day!

So the "bargain" that I hinted at last week came in the mail today. I upgraded my 2009-D Satin Finish Native American Dollar! Yes, I know this is a modern coin, but this baby is hard to find. Between NGC and PCGS, there have been 1,162 of these coins graded. A mere 35 have been graded SP69, with none finer. There have been none available on Teletrade, and there are currently no others available on eBay.

From about the same number of 2009-P Satin examples graded (1,261 between NGC and PCGS) a total of 74 have made the SP69 grade, with none finer. The P-mint coin *IS* available on eBay, but at *CRIMINAL* prices -- the lowest price currently is $633.

While not impossibly rare, for the time being this coin is hard to find and I am happy to add an example in this stellar grade to my set for a non-criminal price of less than $60!!!

Happy Monday to all!
