William, since you are interested in double eagles, here is an example of the ultimate "trophy coin" for many collectors, 1907 High Relief $20...
The piece you have is the centered Bust variety.
Frankly the reverse Proof cent is the least interesting coin in the set for me. The dealer charges extra for it. He would sell the set without it...
I buy only one silver Proof set each year. I have given up on the clad sets because I lost money on them almost every year. At least these sets...
You see that phrase now and then on 19th century political pieces. This election came while Andrew Johnson was in office. Johnson was a Democract...
