Iconic! Nice full (and readable) legend.

 

Congrats James !
I wish I'll still be able to spot, research and buy coins when I'm over 90

Thank you, Bing! I reciprocate your toast:

 

Thank you, Q. I hope your wish comes true - all you really need is Coin Talk, a wheelchair and (based on the way things are going now) lots of money!

 

I know you have a real interest in those restoration issues, @jamesicus. I’m very glad you were able to add that lovely coin to your collection.

 

Beautiful coin James and a great addition to your collection.

 

..that is a hum-dinger of a coin!....kudos to you sir...you are an inspiration to us younger-older folks for sure!...(i'm 62 and just got me 1st retirement check)

 

If you had to only buy one coin for the year, I think you made a good choice!
Looking forward to seeing what 2021 brings.

 

Very nice.

 

There is a certain added appeal to the REST coins! This is a good one.

 

That is a very lovely coin. Great acquisition!

 

Very nice example - congratulations!!... here is my bargain version.

 

Excellent snare, @jamesicus ! Very nice.

 

Historically important and easy on the eyes. Nice acquisition for your collection.

 

here is mine regular issue

 

Nice! You certainly made that one coin count. Here's hoping 2021 is good to you and yours, @jamesicus.
