Local coin show find

I attended my local coin show today the northern Utah coin show check it out if your in northern Utah this weekend. I spent way too much and was walking out when I found this sweet so called dollar.


And oh yeah 100% virgin Utah copper. Utah represents.

Virgin copper??

 

It's stamped on the outside edge I thought it was interesting.

 

I see it now, well, how about that...... Very cool

 

Nice

 

Not your common ore...

 

I could think up a few punchlines, and each one would of resulted in me being banned.......again......

 

Very nice! You should take some pics outside the flip. I see some crud that I hope is on the holder. If not, maybe it needs a bath in some distilled water? Still a very cool piece.

 

It needs a bath. I didn't pay too much for this piece. He had a very nice ngc ms 65 red one for about 11 times the price of this one. So called dollars are not my cup of tea but as a Utah native I could not refuse. If you ever have some time and are in the area you should do a tour of the Bingham canyon copper mine where the copper came from. Largest open pit copper mine in the world they claim.

 

I'm tempted to send to ncs for giggles to see what they could do to it.

 

Winner!

 

I think it's neat.

A quick search of the Googlelord found this (below), but perhaps you could shed even more light upon this for those of us unfamiliar?

I'm not typically big on exonumia, but I like that piece very much.

 

I am going to that coin show today.. Its like going to Vegas, only take as much
money with you as you can afford to lose.. (spend)

 

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who had that thought

 

Use caution to tickle the dragons my friends.
