That is one sweet find. Congrats to you and Franklin!!!

To me the image does not look stamped into the coin. Rather it looks embossed--raised up.

Can you feel the image quite well when you rub your finger over the design??? Or are my aggravating eyes playing tricks on me again?

Again, cool find!!!

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone. :geek:
