I think we have a definite wow factor here-
Nice color. Never seen that before.
We call snakes "Mr. No Legs" in the south so to not scare women and children.
Same as calling a shark "The Man in the grey suit".
This one isn't dangerous as it's non-venomous. It's a rat snake that is found in Southeast Asia.
In the camera world, Leica cameras are highly collectible. This is my baby, an M4 black paint version. Half the people that stop me when I’m out and about taking photos chastise me for using the camera instead of putting it on a shelf preserving it where it can’t get damaged, the other half compliment me on using her for her intended purpose instead of turning her into a shake queen.

Is that for real? ... I've never seen any coin doubled to that Extant.
That piece definitely has the " WOW FACTOR. "
Sure is. Makes the US 1955/55 look minor, doesn't it? Doubled dies of all the current circulating coinage of Brazil can be found with both doubled die obverses and reverse.
I collect the War of Northern Agression classic commemoratives.
As far as I know this is the only US coin that shows the Confederate battle flag.

Over the years, the building at 15 Lansdowne Street has served many different purposes. At the turn of the century, retailer Eban Jordan, of Jordan Marsh and founder of The Boston Globe, built 13-15 Lansdowne Street to house his delivery horses, carriages and trucks.
In 1969, 15 Lansdowne Street entered the entertainment arena as a psychedelic club called THE ARK. Soon after, the legendary BOSTON TEA PARTY, managed by Don Law, moved into the 15 Lansdowne Street address. Both the TEA PARTY and its predecessor THE ARK played host to many of rocks most celebrated acts such as Bob Dylan, The Who, Led Zeppelin and The Grateful Dead. Don Law would later become one of Americas premiere concert promoters.
The rise of the disco era saw ownership of the space change hands once again. A young Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager with their partner Jon Addison bought the building and converted it into a glamorous discotheque aptly named 15 LANSDOWNE. A few years later they sold out to Addison and went back to New York City and opened the infamous STUDIO 54 and later MORGAN'S HOTEL, which would start the boutique hotel revolution.
Clearly the global situation regarding COVID-19 has not subsided! If anything it has gotten much more tumultuous.

The reason I bought this coin is because I felt it had that "wow" factor. There are many double struck Lincolns out there. Few are those, that are this pleasing to the eye.

Nice double struck.
When the 2 strikes aligned nicely, these double struck coins are quite pleasing to the eye.

Besides the unique low mintage, the reason I bought the coin is because of it's unusual width! Note a nickel next to it. It's a two-ouncer Silver Mule.

Here’s a beat up Philadelphia Caramel Cobb card — not a tough card to find — but I’ve always thought ‘wow’ about this issue’s design and colors.
I met a Ty Cobb just today. A young black man who works for a landscaping company in the town where I live. Nice young man.

Holy smokes! That is a huge crappie!
This 1862-S Brother Jonathan double eagle is tied for finest graded at NGC with one other coin graded at MS61.

It never ceases to amaze me that this mosaic was created approximately 1700 years ago. So curiously modern in appearance.

Thanks. It definitely caught my eye. Not overly rare, tho. The similar 50c is quite rare.
