Coin Nudity

I'm looking at some high grade 19th century coins lately and I must admit, these coins give new meaning to the Victorian age.

Are there body parts on these coins. I think you can see the navel on the SAINT GAUDENS, and on the Seated Liberties. If I'm not mistaken, they also altered the standing liberty quarter at one time.

Ruben,
That is a die flaw.Wishful thinking maybe.

 

Here is a good one

 

I knew it would eventually get to this. You guys have been cloistered with your coin collections too long. You have just got to stop the coin fondling. It diminishes the value of the coins and it's my understanding the the Department of Homeland Security is looking into the problem.

:hail:

 

I will say no more.

OK,a bit more.The model for the Standing liberty Quarter was Audrey Munson who lived to the ripe old age of 105.She also posed for some of the greatest civic sculptures in America and starred in some silent films.Here is an article:

You know, this might not be right. I think another women modeled for this coin.

Better liberty than Susan B Anthony, ick.

 

And here's the ever popular Italian Flying Lady!

 

By "eeew" I assume you are referring to the unpleasant image on the obverse of that coin.
