That's a very nice looking N-4 "Silly Head" variety, but then y'all knew that already from Dave's previous post. Interestingly, I've seen the 1839s referred to as middle dates and as late dates. My opinion is that they are a middle date coin, though the head is getting close to resembling the late date design.
I love the "Middle Dates" (1816 - 1839) and hope to complete a variety set of them ... someday ...

Stole my copy for the front page, too. I'm flattered.  The best thing about a bicycle is that it uses no gasoline, therefore the chance of fiery death is greatly reduced.

Yeah, that's a pretty neat read. I've actually got one of those, an 1838 in fact.

I actually have one of these that looks like it's made of wood. It is a warm light brown color with beautiful dark striations. Is this common? (Sorry, I don't have a scanner.)

Hey, Bobby, you changed out my coin for another! And I just offered that one to someone for AU58 money. The best thing about a bicycle is that it uses no gasoline, therefore the chance of fiery death is greatly reduced.
