Reckon this counts in the “token” category.

 

I’ve never had one of those. Nice color on that one.

I think my Feuchtwanger has nice subtle colors, too.

 

Or one with Good Queen Bess on it…

 

What other thing? The tongue-like protrusion you seem to be referring to is what gives that "Spiked Chin" variety its name. I believe it was caused by a small screw falling onto the die. Those striations in right obverse field that sort of look like a fingerprint are not, in fact, a fingerprint. They're also a hallmark of that variety. Maybe caused by the threading on the screw?

 

Not exactly cheap, but not one of my most expensive, either. I’m into that one for $550. It’s an upgrade to the PCGS VF20 I used to own (which was a nice coin for the grade).

 

As of three years ago, I don’t have a mortgage anymore, which does admittedly help the coin budget somewhat. Our home is not terribly impressive (it’s a smallish, cluttered singlewide trailer out in the boondocks). But thankfully, now it’s paid for, and so is the land underneath it. (That was not the case only a few years ago.)

 

Sorry, we got off track. It’s 1804 or Draped Bust half cent, to the next person who wants to post.
