    The curl protruding in front of Liberty's cap looks like a cobra.

    Nice (reeded edge) CBH.

    a great example of a classic coin. Love coins like this with honest wear and tare and have worked in commerce.
    The color and look is outstanding.

    I am glad that this thread is about a collector buying a decent coin that he likes and enjoys owning, for his personal collection. I am tired of people obsessing about upgrades and crossovers. The focus of coin collectors should be on coins and collecting objectives, not on holders and certified grades.

    Pretty old coin!

    Is there a scratched arrow on the obverse behind (to the right of) the neck?

    I don't think it's an arrow so much as a few well-placed old hits/scratches (they're small enough I'm not sure I'd call them scratches) that happen to be in a shape similar to an arrow.
