    I normally only do copper but will ALWAYS buy a coin like that on sight.

    Took some fight, but I prevailed. Had to have this one.

    It checks off the three main criteria I was after:

    (1) Straight-graded.
    (2) 1700s-dated.
    (3) CircCam contrast and nice eye appeal.

    Wow! She's a beauty!!! I dream of one day owning a coin starting with "17". Congrats!

    I thought the grade would have been higher. Great contrast between the devices and the fields. Maybe she was a rich mans pocket piece once upon a time? You should amend your will to have this coin cracked out and put into you pocket for all of eternity.

    Awesome coin! I own a 1799 bust dollar, but it got net graded by ANACS for an ancient cleaning. One day I'll get one that looks like yours.

    My GrandFather was a coin collector. He got me started collecting coins. When he died I placed a PCGS MS67 1972-S Silver Eisenhower Dollar in his vest pocket to be buried with him.

    Great coin, it's definitely very beautiful. Look at this, though! I've never seen this many likes!

    Me neither, not here on CU. I’ve stacked up a few on CoinTalk a time or two.

    That 1799 is a great great great piece, just look at it, it is uncleaned and natural, you are very fortunate to have found it, and it took a great eye to see it.

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,344 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That one is worth paying up for.

    Congratulations! 🥳

  • BarberianBarberian Posts: 3,726 ✭✭✭✭✭

    It's beautiful. I shrink the screen down so the coin is near coin sized and it looks awesome! That's maybe the nicest circulated DBH's I've ever seen i terms of having an attractive circ cameo look.

    Looks 'tooled' to me.

    I often do that (of course, since my phone is my web browser 80% of the time, it’s done already).

    I often find it’s a good way to browse lists of coins, too. The ones I take a look at are the ones that leap off the screen at me even in thumbnail size. Sometimes it pans out and they still look good when you click in and zoom, and sometimes they don’t, but a good CircCam often has curb appeal even in a tiny pic.

    I do that as well. Yours looks nice at the high magnification of your pictures. When they look nice in a close-up, they are fantastic in hand without a lens.
    Your coin definitely caught my eye while looking over the remainder of the auction in semi-shock from buying a coin for more than twice what I've paid for any coin before.

    This one dethroned my Nero gold aureus as the most expensive coin I've ever bought before... by a wide margin.
