I dig its CircCam look...plus it looks strong for a 10 compared to the other lowball examples I've seen.
I was reading up on the amazing history of these through some old threads.....the "undated" aspect appeals to me (minted in 1899 but dated 1900). This one also looks to be a DuVall 2C, one of the two most encountered varieties...thanks to forum member Lehigh96's past postings on the subject!

Nice look!
Nice CircCam.
Someone posted a link of that coin last week when it was for sale on ebay.
That's how I found it!

I was VERY tempted to buy it when I saw it. Great score!
Congrats to being a Lafayette owner

To think that coin was used pretty extensively in commerce, most likely during the Depression years, is beyond cool.
far more likely that it was carried for years as a pocket piece.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
