A very special classic error

I showed this coin once, in another thread, so maybe some of you remember it.

Since we're talking a lot about errors lately I thought I'd give this another whirl. I'm not an error collector but I especially enjoy those from early years.

Here, for your enjoyment, I hope, is an example from the collection of the late Henry Hilgard, a bust half notable some of you surely remember.

I love it! One of the neatest errors I've ever seen.

Awesome. If I'm not mistaken there's a few more out there like that.

Extraordinary piece, I recall seeing it when shown before...THAT'S the WOW factor.

That is freakin' awesome!

I could never forget this coin. It's got to be one of the most dramatic CBH errors known, right?

That is totally...

AWESOME!

That eagle's turnin' cartwheels!

Wow! Not my specialty, but it looks to me that this coin was struck, then rotated about ninety degrees, and struck a second time. Henry Hilgard had some wonderful Bust Half error coins. I sure miss him.
