Just think of all the times in its history that a collector/owner might have been tempted to clean that coin. Fortunately, all of them resisted the temptation and it remains a nice original coin!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought about this. Instead of a bird dropping, I would have put the mint mark in the field to the right of the eagle's head.

That's some dirty Charlotte... nice coin!
That's really something else! Was it struck from slightly rusted dies? I ask because the images look to me like it might have that type of surface.

I suspect so. I am anxiously awaiting it.
Now that is some dirty crusty gold!!
Bravo!!!

I wish they had left it on the obverse.
