    Not bad....what did they have this graded as? How does it fit visually with the pieces you already owned?

    Another beautiful pattern. I'm amazed that the German mint didn't choose any of these great designs. I guess it proves that narrow-minded pencil pushers made coin design decisions a hundred years ago too... A great site too! image

    Another remarkable piece-colorwise, it's a nice match for others you've shown recently.image

    How does it match up to what you had a mental image of?

    I think those pencil pushers in Germany may have emigrated to the U.S. and began a new career working for the U.S. Mint. The Roosevelt dime and the Susan B. Anthony was their revenge for the Treaty of Versailles and Nuremburg!

    (Can I say "Susan B. Anthony" out loud in this forum?)

    Anyway cosmic, thats a sweet looking pattern.
