I like the Nicaraguan coin.
Denver Coin Expo is the biggest one around these parts. https://www.rockymtnexpos.com/
Wow, they went all "creepy Jefferson" on that one too!
Trying to be helpful - all those hairline scratches you see in your first image indicate that it was "cleaned." Maybe just rubbed once to get some...

Nah. Here's an MS68 FB. Some sort of art deco font or something. Edit: the current quarter obverse has the same issue. [ATTACH]
They are all like that.
Publicity, marketing, psychology, reputation - that sort of thing. The PCGS blurb calls it "the highest priced U.S. coin for its rarity." Like the...
