    That's a pretty sweet '59. Grats on that find. I picked one of those up last year in almost as good detail. The only year with the laurel wreath and no shield.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.
