    Good for you. Now the more important question. Is the hair going up and over the hat or down? Or is it a ribbon. :)

    Isn't that the one that John Adams used to buy a horse, back in 1805?

    It looks like they used the O from the "Of America" on the reverse for the zero digit.

    I covet the coin though. That's a beauty.

    Yes it is. I think I would have missed it had I not called immediately when I got the announcement of "Coming Attractions."
    I'll be keeping this thing.

    I must admit being slightly jealous. I only hope to acquire such a wonderful coin when I get to the early gold types.

    Thanks for sharing.
