No special reason for posting this except that I think it is a pretty nice circulated example.

    That coin is new to me, Wayne!!! And I really like the reverse design. By the way, you say it's a nice circulated example, but from the scan, I don't see any signs of wear! Nice luster and color too.

    Maybe circulated was the wrong term.
    It does has a couple of dark spots on it that the photo did not pic-up. One is on the Obv between 6-7 o'clock. They do not really distract from the coin to me but they are there.

    In my 2002 Krause, it says the coin is worth $2 XF and $15 UNC. You found a nice one!

    From the scan, it looks MS to me as well... perhaps in the low end of the MS spectrum, but that does not detract for the beauty of the coin. Nice find.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I like the "woodgrain" toning on the obverse. Too bad about the green death at 6:30 and 12:00 on the obverse and 9:30 and 12:00 on the reverse. image
