I got this at the bank in late Dec 2024. I always keep an eye out for them. Not exactly a 1795 ms Flowing Hair (which I considered buying once), but this came at an excellent price - face value. Can't beat that.

I've got two nice coins less than $30 each, ROOSEVELT DIMES, TYPE 2, CLAD I dont have them in-hand yet, but I think they have nice matching toning, and oddly even sequential cert numbers.
I picked this one up for less than 50 and even included shipping. It's a VAM of some critter, I couldn't figure out this one. Just sent another batch today to John @messydesk for attribution including this one. Seemed like a good price. MS62 maybe? Probably won't get it graded. @Paddy54, zoom in on this one. Looks like she's got whiskers on her nose. Should I have dipped in Nair?
I'm not seeing that. No clashed N railroad tracks, no transfer clash to neck. I see a lot going on, just not those PUPs. There is a line just under the upper crossbar of the one, line under one. Some raised metal on the reverse where wreath clash marks often occur, but not usual organized V clashes. And then there are the nose whiskers. I don't have a clue. I'll know soon enough, within a couple of weeks.
