1818 N1 1818 N-1 5-10% Off Center

EAC Grellman graded VG8/4. This coin was ex Sam Thurman which I aquired on 10/10/06. I sold the coin in the 2007 EAC Sale in St Louis. I then repurchased the coin on eBay 1 month later from Roger Lyles for $100 less then what it sold at the EAC sale for. I plan to hang onto it this time.
