Got tired of looking at beat up and overpriced bust dollars and had been looking at this for a while. It is graded F12 by ngc, O108a.

Always loved these and couldn't find anything that bugged me about it.

MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    That is a nice looking, circulated coin with not defects. It is remarkeable when you can find a 220 + year old coin that has no spots or scratches.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    IMO the coin has a perfect look for the grade. Well done.

    Kind of like a MS70 F12!

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    That's an outstanding way to start. There's something magical about seeing that 17xx.

    Amazing coin. So many have major defects from that era.

    What did Lord Marcovan call these? Circulation Cameos?
    This coin is the poster child for it!

    Beautiful old coin.... It is magical to own a U.S. coin dated 1795 - actually, any U.S. coin dated 17XX....Cheers, RickO

    You always impress me with your coin purchases. True early Americana and I love it.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
