Guilty pleasure, or, have I been left out in the sun too long?

I bought a PR69DCAM Susan B. Anthony for my typeset last week. It's been awhile since I've looked at one, and this one was really clean, with just a hint of gold toning on the obverse. I think the design would be fairly ghastly on a standard size silver dollar, but it works well on this reduced size coin. I'm trying to see if I've got a fever or something, but believe it or not, the coin actually looks attractive to me in this state. I've always liked the reverse, but in this condition the obverse looked kind of nice. Should I go to a doctor or what?

    For all the derision paid the SBA, the obv DOES have certain "classic" characteristics.

    It has a woman's head, similar at least in broad (heh heh) terms to a generic Liberty head, but no Liberty Cap on her (accident or subtle jibe? :-)

    Stars around the periphery.

    And in high grades like the CAM proof it does look good.
