The clash you show on the reverse is the ribbon in her hair, at the back of her head. If we constrain the overlay to be simply a straight-on...
If you are approaching coins as an investment, you're doing it wrong.
Beautiful coins in this thread. I can honestly say I've never had a desire to own one of these, however. I prefere the halves.

If it comes back problem free VF-30/35, this is a $300 - $400 coin. Absolutely worth it. If it comes back genuine VF details, this coin will be...
