Love my Cap and Rays!

Been eyeing one for a while and finally went for it, beautiful piece of history and very fine to look at.

Not as pictured

Two of the stars are for a smooth exchange process. Of the two I initially received, one was very slick and the other pretty slick with a hole in it. Not at all as pictured. The replacements have quite a bit of detail for the age, both have been cleaned a couple times.

Bushwacked!

Now is the hour of my discontent. This product, though advertised as average circulated, I feel was misrepresented by the image of the product in the catalogue. Firstly, I was expecting wear, but not to the extent of this coin. The cap is barely noticable, and has become a metallic schmere. The only visible letters are "L and I and part of the B", disappearing into the blurry cloud. Not much better on the obverse, where any semblance of feathers are non existent. Might as well be a teradactyl. I have never posted a negative review, but I have never been disatisfied before.

Rec'd 1846Go PM (Guanajuato)

In very acceptable condition for what was advertised; mint marks and dates very clear, even the "o" in Go. modest wear. Feathers remain on eagle's breast, the eagle's eye is still apparent. This is "real live' pirate treasure, as close as I will get to being a pirate! And great America's history for youth and adults.
