Fakes abound, this one looks fairly typical. Here is a link to a genuine on on Heritage, I chose it because it is au details and has been...
4 generations, huh? Amazing longevity amongst them, considering this thing was made last month in all likelihood .
Purchased raw, on a whim, for type. I welcome grade opinions, conventional and EAC, and attributions (flip says S-241) Thanks in advance, my...

Where is "motto" in the motto? In God's motto we trust? (just a typo, I'm sure but struck me as funny) Please clarify, as I have wondered about...
Too much carousing does a dull numismatist make, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
