<< I'll bet it isn't what you had in mind >>

Sure it is thats why I posted it as "dollar coin"

Gorgeous coin btw.

That looks like a VAM 1C: Unusual offset of reverse sideways vee clash marks next to top of right wreath. Top set of sideways vee shows three closely grouped clash marks while lower group shows two with a fairly wide separation. These clash marks appear on very early PL die state coins, so possibly die clashes occurred during the die setup in the press.

itsnotjustme.......Your VF25 looks a whole lot higher grade than my VF25.

. Brian's coin looks more like a 35 to me. JMHO.

fivecents · February 15, 2005 4:05AM

ER.....That 1799 almost looks XF45ish to me.

itsnotjustme · February 15, 2005 4:49AM

fivecents and ER,
Thanks! I've been looking for an early dollar for two years. I finally bought this one from Alpine, very fairly priced at $2,450. I agree it is nice for the assigned grade. I may try to upgrade some day--it matches many I have seen in 35 holders. You can see on the pic there is a little luster in the upper wing feathers. I don't see anything in person that should have held it down. All the lines on the reverse are die cracks.

fivecents, while yours has more wear, it still has an original look to it, which is nice.

Still trying to figure this one out...

Never realized how indecisive TDN was!

My favorite?

I have fallen for this $1 California token that was from the Jay Roe collection:

<< Cardinal wins!!!!! >>

I wouldn't call a winner just yet bustman, it looks like some heavy guns are being pulled out.

To bring this thread back to earth here is my favorite "tarnished" dollar.

ER · February 15, 2005 11:49AM

Did you say "tarnished"?

MadMarty · February 15, 2005 12:00PM

It didn't say it had to be a US Dollar...

Ed62 · February 15, 2005 12:01PM

Ed62 · February 15, 2005 12:07PM

I cast my vote for Boiler's logo.

Not looking at Bust Dollars tonight... Here are three of my current favorites, all from DLRC

This one just arrived. In hand, stunning, to say the least. Much nicer than the DLRC photo!

Here is some original dirt. Coins that built this country! My .02¢, I love this look in a Morgan

And this one... soft and sweet! Very pretty subtle toning

Enjoy!

Don't really have a favorite dollar but here's some I find attractive.

boiler78 · February 15, 2005 7:18PM

Lakes- Fantastic coin! That is one of my alltime favorite coins. The ultimate pattern "collection" would be your new copper Schoolgirl dollar and Ed62s Schoolgirl in silver. Both finest knowns and it only takes 2 coins to complete the set.

Of course I am not including the unique Schoolgirl struck in lead.

Nice addition to your collection.

Bustman · February 15, 2005 7:51PM

Not that its a contest, but TDN is in contention. Cardinals 1794 dollar looks absolutely amazing for a 94.

ER · February 15, 2005 8:37PM

tradedollarnut · February 16, 2005 1:28AM

Cardinals 1794 dollar looks absolutely amazing for a 94.

Of all the 1794's I've ever seen, his is unique in its flashy luster. A full cartwheel on a 1794?

SethChandler · February 16, 2005 1:49AM

I've seen Cardinal's 1794 in person.............it will blow your mind away!!!!! TDN is correct, full cartwheel luster.......like a MS Morgan!

We have a nice type set coming along here, Cardinal's 1794, TDN's Trade Dollar, WindyCity's Perfect 1892 Proof Morgan........

Lakesammman · February 16, 2005 2:18AM

Hard to argue with any of them but gotta admit, that 1794 is special..

tmot99 · February 16, 2005 2:26AM

Here's my offering...

oreville · February 16, 2005 6:03AM

As special as Cardinal's $ bust collection is, he is an even more special collector!

Post your favorite dollar coin.
