A few years ago, I wouldn't have given an UNC a second look..... but now. This coin is so darn FWB (Frosty White and Beautiful) :o
Yes I meant re-punched! Sorry, my bad. I caught myself in my last post to say re-punched and not re-struck. Once I saw that, I knew someone would...
There was no other doubling on the coin. That was the first thing they looked for if there was any doubling anywhere else. If there were, then I...

Thanks Mark - Yes there is some slight machine doubling on the coin. I think HT was hinting at this in his post. I'm no expert, but that is a...
No matter how it turns out... you have to wonder how it got there?
Dude your killing me! :headbang: ;) I actually used a tip to get the pics that I did... I took the picsTHROUGH my loupe. Worked awesome! You...
I may have one or two others that show Liberty in the headband but the rest of my IHC look like yours. Nice coins to collect in high grades... if...
Ok - Here are three pics that I took. The third one is what I believe to be the obverse of the coin. Now I am not at my book to verify this, but I...
There are four designs that I really love, but don't own yet... Connecticut (because that is where I am originally from), Lynchburg, VA (that is...
Thanks JMC! Its the nicest one I own. I don't collect them but I do have a few that were passed down to me from my grandparents. None were as...
