just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/12/2012 9:51 pm Quote: Except for its value and age, I'm afraid the coin doesn't do much for me. Not much eye appeal. However, if you think of who might have touch it George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Adams, and so on, it takes on a whole new perspective. Or how many people in bars or taverns flipped that one back and forth. Then got stuck in the rear of a cash register for the next few hundred years. Not sure if there was cash registers back then. Just don't remember that well. If I had that one it would go right into my Whitman Album. Report this Post to the Staff

Nope just artifacts from the reflection and the small jpeg posted. here are some better photos of said coin, for drooling purposes (of course). And one with the holder to show how many scratches are on it and NOT the coin. There is still some mint luster remaining in the hair, amazing! The Eliasberg collection was incredible both for the amount of material and the quality of the overall pieces. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 06:06 am To be brutally honest the only attractive features of this coin is its value. Looks like a 15 year old child designed this terrible fish lipped liberty bust. I know it has historic value but just think about it, If you had that much spare cash would you buy this instead of some other great looking coins that have the same investment potential Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 01/15/2012 12:29 am Well with resources and the people with minting presses and the "know-how" and experience to run them being so nearly non-existent in the Colonies at that time ..... All things considered.... I THINK SHE'S HOT AND BEAUTIFUL IN HER SIMPLISTIC NATURE ! Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 09:17 am Very nice close up photos. The lettering is quite weak on the reverse. We've come a long way in the minting process to what coins look like today as compared to then. Report this Post to the Staff
