This one was love at first sight! Look carefully so much going on...
An N clash at the angle of the mandible, C clashed in front of her eyes," horn " like most probably a mpd of a 1. There file lines around the ear and neck.
And it's a woodie!
The dies appear to have clashed very early in production. As a die pair, it is not rare. However, nearly all of them exhibit a characteristic clash along Liberty's bosom. This one does not and is pretty difficult to locate.
The variety itself is easy to identify by a kickstand die scratch on the left side of the 1 of the date.
But every one seems to have a clash as well, this being a very rare exception.

Why did you move? I mean, the traffic is an obvious bummer in LA, and the taxes and cost of living. Nevermind. Dumb question..

Good point, and I actually liked the area with lived in. Unfortunately it was a forced early retirement for health reasons.
But , once the weather gets warmer here I know I’ll love it here.

Iowa commemoratives have a relatively large number certified in high grades but I was looking for more than 5 years without finding one. I know that some of us like the chase but darn--a 5 year search was becoming increasingly frustrating. However, I finally found one in a Legend auction and was fortunate enough to win it. What makes it especially nice is that in hand the coin looks very much like its True View.

I got this as part of a side project I'm working on. I love it! It reminds me of the kind of presentation cases they used for the King of Siam set and other fancy old proof sets.
Just purchased - Road Runner approved...You know, something to flatten bent coins on...

A much more recent dated purchase than those above, this one from 1989 and the Denver Mint:
A FUN show Cherry pick in a 63 BRN PCGS holder. I sent it in to get the RPM 1 attribution.
Two darkside newps:
German "Wildman" Taler from 1595, holed at the top but otherwise in pretty good shape.
And a crusty colorful Canadian dollar!
My current "Box of 20"
Sweet looking Lincoln.
I didn't have a single Mercury dime in my collection, and found one that seemed appealing.
How could I say No for $10 lol

I would share my new purchases but I believe my wife looks at this thread and she believes I'm not buying anything..
I like that a lot. If you ever decide to part with it please let me know.
I'm going to look into one of those holders. That does look nice.
Eye candy.
