Cool coin! Is it on a copper planchet or a zinc planchet?
Maybe they're freeing up space so CAC can make giant stickers, or so @dwhiz can make jumbo "better than bacon" stickers. :)
I have some ugly dogs to send you! What address you want 'em sent to? :smuggrin:
I like the centering of the "older" NGC labels, but at least that Morgan helps offset the look of the less pretty label. ;)
I'd say AU+ as well because of that curl by his ear. A pretty coin nonetheless despite the dings.
Yeah, I'm not sure what they mean by certified. Nic-a-date damages a coin, but it's a personal preference over whether you'd prefer a dateless...

I believe you could spend it. It may be hard to fit it in a vending machine, though! One of the things I love about US coins is that they're all...
I'll go with burned and clobbered by a hammer or otherwise bludgeoned. SGS MS69.
