    It's safe to say it's pretty good.

    They messed up making the die for that one. Went and punched the hub twice. As a result it is worthless. Might as well dump it a Coinstar machine.

    Wow!
    Love the color and the overdate.
    That's hot and cool at the same time...

    Fantastic coin. What did you mean you were blessed with the oppertunity. Isn't that your coin? Is oppertunity with an e or o?
    If not yours, buy it from whoever has it. Tell them it's blurry due to thier drinking problem. Again, that's a great coin.

    It's "o". Don't I wish it were mine.

    Try brightening up the reverse a little. It appears that the last S in cents is also doubled. Some of the letters on the top reverse also look a little messy but to dark to tell. Also, nice photos.

    Worthless altered coin...someone took and added an "F" mintmark!image
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Thanks for entering me in your contest! image

    Hmm. I know nothing about buffs, but based on the horn and the braid, I'd say MS65 with great color? That makes it, umm, about $150,000?
