This is a beautiful piece. Finest known? I don't know - this is the only one I've ever seen. I collected it 30 years ago and now I am selling my so-called dollars to purchase other cool coins.
A portion of the proceeds are given to a home for children which does not rely upon government funding. It is a very worthy cause run by professionals and highly trained specialists who work especially hard to transform children in need of serious help into happy, functioning adults of tomorrow. To give a little through a simple purchase is to give a lot to those in need.
