<p>[QUOTE="kazuma78, post: 2083075, member: 17304"]Definitely a good teaching coin. I mean the doubling in the t has alot to say about how the dies were made back then with punches and such. Bust coinage is really neat and has a lot of minting history tied to it. like I was talking about with that Morgan dollar, it would have been a good teaching coin too. They are alot cheaper and you can find lots of them with heavy clashes and die polish (it's always pretty easy to see under the Eagles neck). Also there's all kinds of varieties in those too and they make great examples as deep mirror proof like or proof like coins which were usually the first coins to come off a brand new die or a die that had just been cleaned and polished. Lots of good teaching points in the Morgan series. And most of the rarities tie in with the political and economic history of the country at the time of the minting. Coins are pretty darn neat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
