Nicely centered campgate!
I don't have any with a left-facing bust.
Correction--I have this one.

That is exactly the sort of coin I recommend for beginning collectors. If you are still interested in coins in 50 years there is no reason that you will not still own and love this coin. Survivors of uncleaned lots are less likely to be long term.

Im actually quite enjoying the cleaning process on my others. There are two or three that I can see details coming out in. But you do have to have a lot of patience, I had a friend come over while I was scrubbing at them and she was very impatient to see what was underneath.

Maybe even the same coin as yours juzzyb? If not, very similar. If it comes out good I'll post picks when I'm finished.

I love when the detzils start showing through. Especially when there is that much detail.
