Some People don't know a Turban Head from a Classic Head

CoinAuctionsHelp

I noticed on ebay, while researching Turban Head Quarter Eagle Gold Coins, that some think the Classic Head is a Turban Head. Is anyone else confused?

Here is a Turban Head.

You must be confused too. This is a turban head:

This seems like we may be heading into racist territory. I would also like to know what a "turba head" is, because that seems kind of racist,too. I also think the last standing classic "heads" are still doing concerts. Respectfully, John Curlis

Yeah, and this "head" thing is getting a bit too close to sexism and perversion. Let's tone it down a bit.

You did see this coming, didn't you, CoinAuctionsHelp? Respectfully, John Curlis

They use the turban when they go to the bathroom and there is no toilet paper in the stall..

I call those draped bust right. I do not consider that to be a "turban head".

You're giving people like me way too much credit: I just found the idea of reading about someone defecating and then using a piece of his/her clothing to wipe themselves to be gross (and a tad bit in poor taste). And dare I say it lest I be called a snob, but I thought it was also a bit 'unbecoming of a coin collecting thread....Sorry for objecting

Turban Head or Capped Bust to Right, 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

I still want an explanation of a turba head. Respectfully, John Curlis

edix2001

The headdress is turban-like, not Liberty Cap-like.

Was this the basis of the start of the beehive hair style? Respectfully, John Curlis

Copper "Turban Head"

lordmarcovan

"Turban Head" is old school nomenclature for Capped Bust, in many cases. Since the headgear on many of these coins is not really a turban, I suspect a more accurate name was adopted. It was also incorrectly applied to many of the Classic Head coins. (And very incorrectly applied to those Liberty Caps).

This is kind of like the "Mercury" misnomer for the Winged Liberty dimes, but in that particular example, "Mercury" stuck, since it's easier to say and catchier than "Winged Liberty".

Oh my God! Let us all fear the PC police because we came close to something that might possibly with mucho drugs and alcohol offend someone. Naturally FC chooses to kiss off but this isn't a surprise.
