Curiously, examples are known with the obverse and reverse dies oriented in four different variations. The present coin is oriented in medal fashion, with the obverse and reverse dies aligned in parallel. The present coin shows only light wear on the design elements, and much of the reflective proof surface remains in sheltered areas around the devices.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 6:51 pm My dad bought us kids those proof sets AND Texaco planes. All in their original packaging. The grandkids had fun playing with the planes. We got $5 each for the proof sets, probably much less now. Regarding the $3 dollar coin, color me indifferent.

And on a piece less common like a $3? Definitely surprised Report this Post to the Staff
