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.
Nice example!

No magnification needed to see that doubling. Nice pick up.
Very, very nice!
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.
