green18, is that a seriously rotated rev die on your 2 center?
While this 20$ no motto has uncirc details unfortunately there are cleaning marks on the obv. The reverse has full cartwheel, though. [IMG] [IMG]
NIce coin! This is a cool type and I am surprised they are not more popular.
Too bad about the damage as it clearly has AU details. personally, and this is just my own opinion worth exactly .02, I would have spent the...
beautiful proof HD, Larry! I don't have anything even close to that level of preservation. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
It looks like a mint state coin to me, but even with the many photos posted I can't say for sure if there is any rub on the Lady's advancing leg....
Most of the one's I've seen are made from Trade Dollars and usually sell for over $100. Liberty's posture seems to beg for a caption, like,...
