    I'd say something but I can't seem to figure out what it might be. I will settle on nice!!! that tone draped over any coin would be lovely, draped over this version is remarkable. Bruce, can I come over sometime to look at you collection?? :)o:)

    Bruce, your NEWPS never disappoint........and they can be deceptive. I assumed you had just added another fabulous dollar to your collection, only to later realize that it was a special variety called a dime.

    When I'm 223 years old I probably won't look this good. What a beautiful jewel.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that coin spent many years in a Wayte Raymond album. Outstanding eye appeal!

    The nicest small eagle I’ve ever laid my eyes on. It’s the bomb.
    Congratulations 👍🏻👍🏻

    That coin is in amazing condition considering it's age.... It must have been 'collected' from the time it was minted. Cheers, RickO

    18th and early 19th Century US Coinage, especially high grade examples such as the coins pictured in this thread are very beautiful, with multiple depictions of Lady Liberty and of an Eagle (our national bird).

    It would be interesting to have examples of these coins (or photos of them) viewed by a cross section of US society today (i.e. 1,000,000 persons across the country) and have the persons who view the coins provide their opinions on the coins, Lady Liberty and the Eagle.

    Amazing coin.

    So will they do trueviews without removing the coin from the holder? I've wondered about if I could do that with OGHs

    That's could be pretty easy to do in metropolitan areas with museums. Just get the Smithsonian and other museums to put coins outside their building and on street posts like they often do and then interview people in front of the buildings.

    Looking at a blown up photo of the coin shows doubling on the date and possible doubling on some of the stars and some of the dentils on the obverse side of the coin.

    On the reverse there appears to be no doubling, except possibly on a small portion of the ribbon.

    Does anyone know if machine doubling is present on coinage from the 18th century? If so, is the doubling on this coin machine doubling?

    If not, what type of doubling does this coin have?
