Since I am over here, I figured that I would post this beaut. Came from an old time collection that Sheridan Downey recently purchased.

    Looks like a nearly perfect eagle outline on the obverse.

    Very cool

    Nice example! Was probably dipped at one point though no?
    All coins kept in bank vaults.

    Your coin has great character, and clean surfaces. I like it a lot.

    Not necessarily dipped.... depends on storage conditions. Nice coin... Cheers, RickO

    The obverse clashing is outstanding! It's a keeper.
    It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

    Nice coin! That die line hanging from the ribbon is very strong. Wow.

    You have to love that skin on a CBH.
    Wouldn't mind if all mine looked like that.
    Nice coin.

    If we are looking at the same thing, that's the outline of the bust of Miss LIBERTY from an earlier clash.

    You guys slay me.

    No it aint for sale. It WAS for sale a couple of weeks ago but u all missed out image

    Seriously, this one has the most luster of any AU 50 I have in the collection. But if it were graded higher, I think it would still sell for the same money. If any of u clowns want the coin, for sale at $30000. No joke, but I will get it out there just in case! image
