XF-45 Dahlonega half-eagle. Certainly, I buy and own more exotic, scarcer, and higher grade stuff, but I still am truly excited when a nice, original choice, XF Dahlonega $5 is heading my way. They are harder to find than you would think.
Fortunately, one is headed my way.

eagle minted that year.

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
learning something new is great too. New coins are even better when they are
available cheap or already in my collection.
