That is a nice looking coin.

Thanks

The reverse with rays and stars always brings to mind an image of 4th of July fireworks going off.

I agree, it dies have that celebratory appearance to it.

Quote:
I see several expected die cracks, as well as MD on the UNITED legend. Adds some period appropriate character to the coin.

Thank you

umm, could be or were you thinking of completing a 7070 type set? I only have 4 more coins to get to completely fill page 2 - that was my motivation


Nahhh. I had considered it at some point. I was mainly debating about doing a Shield nickel set.

Well I don't know what was on the coin on the obverse (circled in image above. It is gone now, maybe a stray piece of lint?
