1833, O-107, R-3; I particularly like the album toning starting on the obverse rim. This coin is in the XF-45/AU/50 range and the pics were taken using the same(focused straight down) neon light, a little bright but the fields are clean. Just got this one today in the mail.

Take Care
Ben

Thank you sir. As I'm sure you're aware many times coins look better in hand than in scans or photos; particularly gold and silver. This is just such an example.

You just know I'm gonna' like this piece!
I have always been a fan of lightly circulated bust coinage, and the lovely obverse toning just adds to this coins character. Sweet!
