Looky What I Found This Morning!

Great story and find! Does the property have a large old tree outside and in view of the Master Bedroom? If so, then you might want to get the old Metal Detector out and search around it. In the old days, folks use to hide money and other valuables around such a tree and they could lay in bed and keep an eye or two on the hiding spot. Old brick lined wells and cisterns are also good places to look for hidden money and other valuables. If you have one or both of these on your property, check for any loose bricks within arms reach. People would sometimes remove a brick in the wall of the well or cistern, hollow a spot out behind it and place a little box with with the money and valuables in the hollow spot, then put the brick back into place without mortering it into place.

That is a cool find!

 

Nice find.

 

why wouldnt i put it there. lol

 

Great find Oldman.

I believe that requires pure grain Gradin" Juice.

There are those that would pay considerably more than the coins normal value for toning like that.

 

That's an interesting question as to if it would be considered artificial toning or not. It was not done intentionally but it was done over many years (probably) by heat from the furnace, which I wouldn't consider natural. By the way that's a great story and a nice looking Morgan!

 

Thank you on the compliment on my little lovely I got here.

That is a good question as to wether this would be called artificially toned or naturally toned. I don't even know how long this coin actually sat inside the vent. I'm thinking it was there for a very long time. But who knows. I was looking online to try to find something that would help me know if it would even be worth sending it to a TPG's and all I find are web sites saying things along the lines of its a gamble and one site I looked at said something about the coin being out at a TPG's for months. I just don't know if I want one of my coins being away from me for months? Anyone have any advice?

I has a lot of trust issues with everything I see and read online if you can't tell.

 

Exactly along the lines I was thinking...

But now, I've gotsta say, that's one helluva pretty woman you've snatched up there, Oldman! :thumb: I know, I know. Some men got it, and some men just don't.

 

What a find!!! Very nice. Oldman you need to vacuum more often.

Well there you have it... it must have been planted by his wife! Case closed.

 

lolololol Thats pretty funny.

 

Nice find!

 

Man, nice find! That's toning if I ever seen it! :thumb:

wow nice find...!!! I need to start tearing apart old places

 

Some of you might remeber this topic I started a while back. I found this in the heating system in my house. Well I took the advise of some of my fellow CT members and had it sent to PCGS though my buddy that owns a coin shop. Well I got a phone call this morning from him saying he has it and he didnt sound thrilled. I could tell from the sound of his voice that I wasnt going to be happy either. I said Let me hear it.

This is a word for word quote: Those SOB's sent it back as "QUESTIONABLE TONING". Whatever jack a$$ sat down to grade this coin was a moron.

I replyed I agree.

He said if I wanted, he could call them and tell them the history of the coin and see if its worth resubmiting. I said let me think about it and when I come down in a few days I will let ya know. As I fell like Humpty Dumpty yesterday when working on my house. So im pretty much a gimp at the moment at least for a few days.

What do you CT fella's think? Should I have him call them. He told me that talking to PCGS customer service is like talking to a brick wall. But worth a try in this case.

Your opionions please. In case you dont know the full story behind this coin. Please read the very first post to this topic. Thanks all.

Oldman

 

I think I might try a NGC next, After that , I am just gonna toss my hands up. At least I know the truth about the coin, and i guess you fellas too.

 

Im slightly aroused... she's a beauty!!!
