I haven't bought much this year. IMO, prices are simply too high.

But there was something about this two-faced hussy...


Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    To me it always adds an additional interest factor

    Exactly. I think I have one of those with a well known die crack. It give them character.

    Nice one Jim! That's a really good looking coin with a great double profile!!

    Neat. I remember seeing these previously (not sure it was same date) and do standout some.
    Agree with 'some' of the prices being high now versus a couple / few years ago (on some I have tracked back to prior auction).

    Is this the equivalent of the "Coins I Like" thread for the rodent owners forum?

    I had to do a double-take when I saw your screen name. I'm sure you've heard that a bunch, along with accompanying jokes.

    Once or twice. ;) My late wife used to get a big kick out of it.

    No magnification needed to see that doubling. Nice pick up.

    Very, very nice! <3

    SUPER cool!! Double profiles are common (as you probably know) on a few 1823 issues and other early to mid 1820s yeardates. But to see a bold doubling on the 1830s higher relief issues is always cool.

    Other than a couple of beauty marks, she's an unblemished early hottie.
