Nice score ☺️. I scored the slabbed example pictured below 6 years ago for $119.00 😉. NGC1883002-031AWKCollection.jpg.bc8139e6fdeaeaf39a281c1db83e66a5.jpg

I managed to score a similar type with a left facing head last January at CNG 530. It is less common & cost me $330.00 (including the buyers premium). McAlee682Prieur228AWKCollection.jpg.28f56c5cd7e0e2ac9662afe50487b9e4.jpg
