No kidding! I cannot work out in my feeble brain how a clash die for a cent could be a double eagle. Now that is just fascinating to me.
I don’t know if this applies….. I have owned this old dollar a long time. It wasn’t until I was taking photos for another thread that I discovered...
I suppose so. I just can’t get over feeling like my generation made the cost of collecting coins out of reach for new/young collectors. Just a...

Wow! I had no idea. Thanks Pickin’!
