  Nothing wrong with that at all. Really nice honest piece of history!

  Awesome coin. These are really tough to find nice for the price you paid. I had my eye on this one as well but my bank account is still recovering from the last small eagle dollar I acquired. Now all you need is a nice small eagle half to complement it:-)

  Welcome to the boards John,
  I saw this in Gail's e-mail shortly after she sent it out, and got it held until Monday for me to decide.
  
  For those curious about the grade, it is F12.

  Give Blood (Red Bags) & Platelets (Yellow Bags)!

  Just think of the history. George Washington himself could have carried that piece. Very nice pickup.

  That's a nice Coin. I'm hoping to find/buy something like that for myself, one day. Maybe this Friday in Baltimore?

  I like it! I have a 1796, but it someone stamped "COPY" on the reverse. Go figure.

  The only imperfections on that coin are trivial, it's a whale of a coin!
