    Part of what I see in the right fields is likely on the plastic of the slab. Nicely looking example... likely in the AU53-55 RANGE

    Very nice Stuart! I would guess in the MS-62 range?

    I have another example of the same date, but I think yours has the edge on grade.

    The dies do not appear to be 100% the same, which is not unusual for the period. Check out the shoulder clasp located directly under the hair. The collar (directly under the chin) is also different. I also see slight doubling in the 1 of the date on my example, which is not evident on your example. Interesting study in subtle differences.

    I think it's an aweful coin.

    Perhaps you could send it to me for closer inspection, just PM me your addy.

    Seriously though: It's a BEAUTY !!!

    I also thought that the comparison between the two coins was very interesting.
    The meaning of life ? I don't know but I am sure that coins have something to do with it.
