My new 1818 Bust Half

Hey guys, I just recieved this in the mail that I got for..... 15 bucks! Melt alone is worth $11. It looks cleaned but thats fine by me! Gimme your thoughts!

Please disregard the Dansco album, that was a test.

 

Very nice, can't beat $15 for that.

 

I like those old coins but what ya gonna do with it? I mean are you gonna wear it?

 

Oh no I am not. Im going to cut the loop (carfeully asto not damage the coin) and place it in my 7070 Dansco Type set

 

I would, the damage is already done. Can you imagint the conversations you would create at a show?

 

I'd tell people that I was the one who put the hole in it to wear it because I loved it so much. I'd also tell them I scrub it with a brilo pad monthly to keep it clean and shiny. Shock value and the faces it generates is priceless! :devil:

 

Just think if some idiot got one of those silver pucks and placed it on a chain around their neck and went to a huge coin show. I don't want to give anyone ideas but you could be the Flavor Flav of the coin world!! I would have included a pic of the dude but I'm at work. What a joke!!

 

I think you did very well with that purchase. In spite of the hole it is still a very nice coin and, with the amount of remaining details, will be a great coin for you to study. And who knows; that coin could be the start of your Holed Type Set.

 

It very well could be although I don't plan on it. I remember maybe 3 monthsback there was a thread about a 7070 type set with only holed coins.

 

You mean this one? http://www.cointalk.com/t191300-2/

I like the coin!

 

LOL~! I thought about take my grandmothers giant magnifying glass, or the dental magnifyers at work and walking around a coin show.

 

love the half btw.

 

Iv'e gone over it MANY times just to make sure its real. Still cant believe the deal!

 

Ex Fine Details even with that hole!
