I have never seen one with the horse being stabbed in the head but other options head to tail and everything inbetween are available. [ATTACH]...
I do, too, but I prefer unattributed coins that have all their detail so the challenge is lessened by all the lost detail. Some will say that...
My 'common sense' in the 1950's said that I should never pay more than face value for US coins. I collected from circulation and traded...
