Pairs well with its other 1830s decade companion, the $5 Crosslet 4 Classic Head. Together, these two coins accomplish a difficult feat: first and last year of issue. (they bound the entire six year span of time from which they were produced)
Furthermore, precedence for the overall type set collection was established:
For "like portrait" designs from the same mint, larger denomination coins are to predate smaller denomination coins.
Originally purchased in September 2014, in February 2023 its holder was "edge tapped" to display the coin the way it looked when first holdered, and new photos were taken (iPhone SE) to reflect the coin's new, proper orientation.
I got extremely lucky with the camera and my lighting technique.
By equally inclining the angle of both the camera and the holder to the light source I was able to bring out a semi-cameo appearance to the coin's obverse side, and NGC's security banner just happened to take on the popular color of the year — teal blue.
Beautiful, proof-like Registry appeal, coupled with Art Deco / Art Nouveau coloration.
