Owner Comments:

This was the first of the colorful busts that I purchased at the PNNA show in 2003. I saw this lonely bust half at one dealer's table and the price was extremely reasonable so I took the plunge. The beauty of the blue toning on the edge really piqued my interest and I've been looking for similar coins ever since. I haven't yet attributed this coin, and I don't know that I'd even try given the number of marriages for this date, but perhaps when I get the time and motivation I will send it in to NGC for the Overton attribution.
