I have a large cent I believe date 1853 in very fine that the E in CENT has been modified. I forgot about it until recently when I was going show a bank teller what a large cent looked like. I didn't look at it until I was about to go in the bank. When I did I started to laugh and put it back in my pocket. I brought another one on a different date and put the modified cent back where I had it.

 

Well, in a way, yes. He contributed 2 songs to a ZZ Top tribute album, celebrating their 40th anniversary. One song was an original by Craig. The other song was a cover, by Craig, of a ZZ Top original.Thanks for your support. It matters.

Just messing with you Insider and I always appreciate your comments - the whole reason I'm on this forum is to learn. I've never been on a forum in my entire life but I'm certainly glad to have chosen this one.

No, I'm glad you posted that coin; however, the part about your eyesight has made me very sad.

 

Perhaps a local school science department would favor you by allowing the use of a stereo microscope.

 

Perhaps you need not go as far afield as trying your local educational institutions.
Just ask around (here, even) for ancient coin enthusiasts - perhaps one will live close enough for a visit. Just about every at least moderately advanced ancients collector I know has a stereoscope. They're indispensable for cleaning off millennia of encrustations without killing the coin.
