jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3185 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 9:01 pm I do not see the die crack down the neck to ID as silly head. I think it might be a head of 38 variety. Still a nice coin that has MS details Report this Post to the Staff

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/06/2015 2:53 pm It's a "silly head" because of the shoulder showing and the lock of hair under the coronet near the forehead. I guess they've been calling them silly heads since the 1860s for some reason. I would love to have this coin in my collection. Edited by Celticsoul 02/06/2015 2:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
