Pretty well worn and by no means rare or even scarce. I'm posting it solely on account of what I consider an interesting anomaly, namely the rather skeletal appearance of the snake's body above the eagle's beak. Also note near the snake's head where somebody evidently bored partway into the coin (probably testing to make sure it didn't have a base metal core).

That's pretty cool. The "skeletal" neck seems to be on a lot of these coins from mid 1840's to mid 1850's. Kind of surprised no one bothered to correct the design flaw for a whole decade.
