A real keeper.

That seems to have less of the pockmarked surfaces than usually seen. Is that correct? Here is another that is not quite as eye appealing.

These are a neat variety.

Yes the obv field is smooth except for the few raised bumps under Liberty,
I’ll take a picture of the rev and add it here. The rev of this coin has machine doubling

Interesting die cleaning after the "Y" on LIBERTY and the front of the Bow tie to the 1 in the Date. Makes able look thinner. I don't know what the mark is West of the L on LIBERTY?

[D42]

This is the reverse of the coin

The mark west of the L is raised metal

Tthe two spots next to the "Y" and "1" look like light clash repair.

That would be from die polishing around the L on PLURIBUS or die wear. But the reverse has machine doubling. I hate when a coin has both machine doubling and a doubled die. Seems like it really distracts. I have a doubled reverse that 1/2 east-west is West side machine doubled/right side a doubled die. Seems to me it ruins the look, but it happens.

Yeah, You don't know if you are "coming, or going"!
