You won this one?
I also bid on it but stopped at 90E. It's a rare issue, but the condition and the practices of the seller threw me a bit off unfortunately :/

Yes, I won this one. I think it will probably look better than the sellers picture, but even if it doesn't, this type turns up so infrequently that I really wanted to get it.

I wish I was around when this one went for auction.
Anyways, I hope your predictions are right and that the coin is better in hand. Congrats for winning it.
