  cool. Is that an imprint of the reverse's "pluribus" just above the date?

  Heck of a clash there!
  
  Ruddy cheek?
  
  I like it. I wonder if maybe in ten years or so i'll work up the gonads to buy one?

  The clashing is as intense as those seen on CBH's. I don't think I've ever seen it this deep on gold before.
  
  Sweet purchase
  
  
  BTW - how much over spot did you have to pay

  I saw that one a about a week ago at DLRC when I was looking for something.
  Clash is pretty neat.
  
  I put it on my watch list,said auction ended in 3 days. The next day I went back and the coin just disappeared from their site. Was pretty strange.
  
  Did you buy it from DLRC or someplace else?

  I'll trade you a $50 piece of modern bullion for that slightly-used $5 piece of old bullion?
  
  I didn't think so either! Very nice, by the way.

  The coin is up for auction again at DLRC. Link
  
  Did you decide not to keep it?

  Good pass. Looks like some foreign substance on the cheek, probably covering some hits. Also, some haze to the left of the eagle's neck on the reverse.

  Yes, decided to return it. The different coloration on the head and higher points was too much of a distraction. With a little patience, this type is available.

  Yes you can find that type at most any of the major auctions.
  Never saw one with a clash like that before thou.
  If I was just looking for a type coin I would pass on that one also.
  
  
  Pics for those that asked.
