    Yeah, I’ve been casually looking for an 1800-1803 Bust dollar with E PLURIBUS UNUM showing clearly. Most that I’ve seen like that are in the VF range or higher. I’m surprised to see it so bold on this one.

    I would like to jump on this bandwagon! Here is a similar coin to yours, though I know little about it.

    It also has a very similar CirCam patina.

    These Mysore Tipu Sultan AE paisas all exhibit a bit of the "CircCam" appearance, with the elephant being in high relief and taking more wear than the fields. 1750-1799 4 coins obv (1).JPG 1750-1799 4 coins obv (2).JPG 1795 Mysore TS 1 p obv (2).JPG 1795 Mysore TS 1 p obv.JPG

    The newest addition to my collection is this 1828 B-2 bust quarter. It has a very nice CircCam appearance!

    Because of the Silver content in Electrum, I enjoy the contrast from circulation. Highlights from Tanit's Wreath, and the Horse's Shoulder and Thigh:

    Minted at the height of the Carthage Empire's power, controlled the Western Med, Checked the Roman Republic, and was the greatest trading consortium for the time. Dekadrachm is a sought after denomination.

    BTW, @CircCam and @ksparrow- I still haven't quite forgiven y'all for posting that pair of CircCam Bust dollars at the top of the page. ;)
