It took more than 6 weeks to arrive, but the long wait was well worth it in my opinion:  |

What a beautiful coin and magnificent piece of U.S. history; a coin struck when George Washington was president!

Thank you, ALL, very much for your comments. I really appreciate it. Quote:
Beautiful coin, but I have to ask, why did it take 6 weeks? As I mentioned, it took quite a while to reach me and this was due to the severe lockdown situation in Europe. I had resigned myself to a wait of many months, but fortunately it arrived safely after 6-7 weeks. Quote:

You cannot miss it due to the characteristic 'lump' or berry in the left bow, and the heavy hair braids. This reverse appears only in S-45 and in NC-5 (only two examples known). |

Wow. That is spectacular. Amazing condition from a time when collectors were not as numerous. I wonder who over the years had the foresight to keep that coin just like new out of circulation.
