This is certainly a nice coin and the only one I've seen in this grade(so far). For brass, it's very good.

However, please spare us some agony and have a clue about the current market, especially noting the difference between the price of BTC in July 2013 when this was sold and now.  Back then 1BTC was around $90, and now it's over 3x that.  

I'd estimate the market price should be about 6.5BTC for it, based on current BTC value as well as the fact that MS-66 versions command roughly 5BTC in today's market, and MS-65 can be had for under 4BTC  Granted a 67 for brass is very good, but grades have been coming back higher lately so this most likely will not soon be the only of its kind.

Edit: and you're right AT, I didn't originally notice the mark on the B.  Hopefully it's just a mark on the slab, but if its on the coin this should be a much lower grade, and my 66 should then be a 68...

You're right - I may have started the auction with an overzealous starting price.. My apologies about the "agony" comment. I'll remove the minimum of 40 and see where it goes. My price-history recollection isn't awesome. I imagined we were near $200 in July, 2013 when we were actually near $90.

There is no chunk missing from the B... I'm not sure why that picture looks so rough, especially considering it's an official ANACS pic. The coin is pristine. If some actual offers/bids turn up I'll pull it out of storage for a better look. I had 10 coins graded in the same batch and this is the highest grade with the poorest quality pic... go figure.
