Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 04/21/2022 1:30 pm Again a huge thank you as well to my CCF family for all the kind remarks. Jacrispies said: Quote: What a great looking coin! I admire how it isn't the usual Fair 2 or About Good 3. This was one requirement I had for the collection. My eye appreciates aesthetics and something that worn, while still amazing (understatement) to own, just would not do for me. Westcoin said: Quote: You really should put that cardboard plug into the slab it replaced. I had not thought about that. Good idea! I will take my time with a Dremel tool to crack it out. Numismatic Student said: Quote: Awesome acquisition. Consider adding your coin to the list of 100 Greatest U.S. Coins held by CCF members. Thanks for this suggestion.
