<p>[QUOTE="zekeguzz, post: 1437266, member: 15455"]Well here is my newest. Researching this coin I found out that while being minted they were handled very roughly and many nicks and dings were created before being circulated. I gather that this was because the mint was well into 1936 and didn'tmake delivery on time for the 300 year celebration. The obverse shows an Algonquin indian head half covered by the head of a Dutchman. There is still plenty of satiny luster on my coin but even with my best attempts and poor lighting it is tough to do this coin justice. It has a lot of bag marks, scratches and dings which the photos from where I purchased it didn't show. I have no no idea what this coin would but I seriously doubt it would grade higher than MS-62. The more you look at it the more character the coin displays.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
