Thanks (T.O.) Frank, Appreciate you looking, I think the crudeness of the dies and the conditions underwhich they were made: really makes them unique. Not by some engraver in Boston; but rather a skilled blacksmith who forged the dies and hand-tooled the faces while they were glowing red in the Ozark wilderness. Artisticly, I think they are "classic americana". But that's just me. James "BUY THE COIN before you read the book."
