Picked up an upgrade 1812 bustie for the album
When I saw this bustie on ebay for sale by airplanenut I fell in love with the die cracks. I had to have it for the album. Surprisingly it sold for less then I figured it would sell for. It is a great addition to the album. What do you think of it?

The O/P book calls it the O-106.
...but it is actually the "Terminal Die State O-106a."
You can clearly see where the dies are breaking up and starting to fall apart. The mint's Coiner had to be in a real "pinch" to have to keep using dies like this to stay on a production schedule and keep striking coins.
What also makes your 1812 so great is that it is such a conversation piece. This coin can be a "show and tell" all by itself where ever you take it.

I am looking forward to getting the 1820, Richard.
