What a great piece! I absolutely agree with your statements about the price and rarity of this doubled die. It's pretty common, but the amazing doubling causes for much higher prices than normal.

I paid $1,100 for it, but I buy a ridiculous number of coins off some dealers and they cut me a good price when I'm looking for something for my collection. Pretty sure you're not going to get an AU for that price too easily.

And you should keep your computer, as patience is key to getting a good collection without suffering for it. These are common coins and available by the dozens anytime, so save cash over time and be ready to buy when the right coin hits at the right price.

I'm seeing MD and maybe some circulation flattening. Spender for sure.

Nice example TB. I agree with yourassessment but hope the area under IN GOD doesn't come into play.

Indeed nice coin but don't anybody get fooled , there are some counterfeits out there that are almost perfect to a beginner . I've have seen one myself many years ago .

Very nice! This is always an impressive variety. I agree this is a "common" variety but it is certainly an amazing coin to look at. I wonder if these can still be found in OBW rolls?
