    My favorite look in a coin. Love it. Congrats. All old gold should look like that.

    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.

  • earlyAurumearlyAurum Posts: 746 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Congrats. Great looking coin!

  • au58au58 Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭

    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.
    Not that that's much of a permanence at my age. :|

    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.
