    Thank God, not another scrubbed up compromised piece!

    Lovely.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Helluva coin, the Draped Bust Dollar market has been on a heater lately. Very difficult to secure the nice collector grade coins like this. Centered, hammer strike, distraction free fields, and a charming circ cameo look with original surfaces? The only real problem with this coin...is that it's not mine! :p

    Congrats!

    @ALaura22 - Mike, That’s a super attractive well-struck, centered Bust Dollar with nice original crusty surfaces! πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

    It’s got a lot of meat left on it for an XF-40! πŸ˜‰

    Thanks for sharing the photos with us! πŸ˜ƒ
