I recently purchased this FR02 1908 example. I was happy to get it. I showed it to my wife and her response was “well I can tell it’s an Indian but the other side looks like a dinosaur.”🙈

    Ironically, she is wrong on both the reverse and the obverse.

    Love the coin. A dino sounds like a resentment 😜

    Dinosaurs are related to birds.

    "That is one Amazing lowball coin!! Would be great if the US Mint produced a coin with a Dinosaur.🦕 😆 A new commemorative quarter series."

    Great way to start kids collecting..

    I almost bought that coin because I thought it was pretty unique. If I remember correctly from the pictures, I thought I saw a faint D mintmark on it, and was wondering if pcgs got it wrong? Maybe you can tell for sure with it in hand. Here’s your trueview:

    Here’s a $2.50 pan pac in a 10 holder. Seems a bit optimistic on the price, but another lowball interesting coin.

    This is an AG03 1908-D. If you tilt it the D is quite obvious. I can’t find a D on the FR02

    She is right, birds ARE dinosaurs (not "related to" nor "derived from"):

    Or is it birds are related to Dinosaurs. But we know birds are not real so does that make dinosaurs not real.
