Those are cool tokens but they might as well be from the Majical Land of Ishquapottl.  |

(Granted, some of it might be due to the extensive sand patina.)   [EDIT: fixed missing image tag] Edited by january1may

I don't have this exact coin anymore, but I have other more worn examples of this series. As I have read, the series of designs created by Charles Barber for U.S. coins is the subject of the most artistic ridicule. I find them to be bland, as well, but so are other classics.   Lady Liberty looks like a man, in my opinion. Of course, the most artistically meritous coin being minted at the time was the Morgan dollar.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Aw come on guys, nobody else loves naive artistry on coins? No vote from me, unless you need to break a tie. |
