    I read a story once about these. If I have it right they were not popular when first discovered. Q. David Bowers thought they were and ran around picking up all he could find. He later sold them for a really nice profit. No telling what that group would be worth today. What a great coin.

    This is a true story. I could have had a uncirculated roll of 55DD's for $5.00 and turned it down.

    LOL, I beat you to it, there is a PCGS AU-55 there already:smile

    No need to send it to me Spock, just get a pic posted, the fakes are too easy to spot.

    Actually they thought they were an interesting novelty and offered to by them for 25 cents each, but after awhile they felt they were acquiring too many of thm and stopped buying them.

    Spock, I hope the 50000 figure is in Rupees or something similar:hammer:

    The gold mine has been my best investment over this last quarter since I got in, but a long way to go upward for the whole retirement funds.
