I'll bet you've never seen one of these before . . . . . .

It's not NGC graded. It's in a "self-slab." I like using those for display, protection, and attribution.

Silver coins are easier to photograph with a black then white surround.

A person who goes by annisquam, elsewhere on the internet, responded to me years ago with a plaster image and the following information which I resized and messed with a bit.

I've always wondered what the "dots" were behind the Monticello. Thought they were clouds. Now I see from your pic of the plaster molds that they're the outlines of trees.
