bought this guy this afternoon... they only made 14,000 of these so this is a pretty rare bird.

wow!! can i have?? hehe

That is a nice beautiful coin it looks like its in great shape

Is this one of those that walks in the door? Or did you snag that off of eBay?

I love these coins. Yours is lovely. When I inherit millions of dollars from my rich uncle, I will have a complete collection. Something about coins from this period --1820's thru 1850's-- really appeals to me. Something about the style of engraving, the images etc.

Okay, I don't have a rich uncle.

Very nice, I'm surprised they didn't find a bunch of these on the Central America.

I would imagine that it being of a more utilitarian denomination, ie lower value, it wasn't sent to the bankers in NYC but resided in California for circulation there? Dang that would look good in my SF collection. I was born a few blocks from the new ie 1937 era mint.

That is a lovely addition to your collection
