      I didn't sell this off when I sold my collection cause I loved the toning it acquired from sitting face up in a coin cabinet for a long time.

      I love it! Nice coin. I like coins but I'm not a collector. I just like looking for older ones through my pocket change and my couch, I found one 1963 quarter and got so excited that I went through my friends couch and in it was a 1894 Indian head wheat penny. My life is so full !!! I couldn't stand much more excitement!!

      1894 cent out of a couch! That should be enough to catch the coin bug. My Aunt showed me an 1876 CC Dime in what I would now call Choice XF 45 that she found in the gutter. No, I'm not 100 years old "chuckle," this was in the 1960s. Incredible and enchanting, Carson City !! Wow. That and A book by Fell about america's coinage where the Font of the numbers 1793 was dazzling to my young eye and I was hooked. Remember saving up and buying my first, an 1857 Flying Eagle cent in fair condition for 79 Cents from Mr pike, the Numismatist at the Brooklyn A&S Department Store. Sorely miss my coins. Would be several million in today's market. Breath taking beauty, but then I have the affliction. Sad I only have a few photos. Of course I owned an 1876 CC Dime and then some.

      So the 1894 didn't do it for you. Harder to get the malady these days where the more romantic old pieces are slabbed and out of reach financially. Abundant common coins are hyped into desirability by the virtue of their perfection.
