nope and good riddance (to her, not the coin). That was 40 years ago.
Definitely road rash.
Why would satin finish coins get a Specimen grade? But anyway, they're lovely!
The double eagle is a Byzantine motif originally. Many countries where Eastern Orthodox Christianity predominates (or predominated) have used it.
I've told my story a few times of selling my 1878 Nickel 3 cent (proof only-2350 minted) to buy a wedding band set for a girl I ended up not...
