A great haul for an LCS visit. Congrats! Bruce
I doubt that Shelly would mind.:D Bruce
I've never scanned my currency. I always use my camera and get excellent results. Bruce
The more I look at it I go with dwhiz at EF details. At first I thought maybe AU but since then. have changed my mind. Bruce
I hate to see the damage the cleaning has caused but it's still a nice little coin. Not sure how it would be graded though. Bruce
Yeah, I like the toning too. It took years of hard work to win such a prestigious medal and this one looks a match to that effort. Bruce
I'm looking forward to following your journey. A wonderful idea and something we probably should all do. Kindest regards, Bruce
I agree...this coin has been through a lot. Badly damaged but authentic. Bruce
Very, very nice coin in my opinion. Smooth, undamaged surfaces with an attractive gray color. I'd put it in my collection anytime. Bruce
$2,999.00 ? When donkeys fly!:D Bruce
Merchant or trade tokens often have a stated value...a good-for if you will. As you say though never legal tender. Bruce
I never felt strongly that Wealth of the South tokens should be considered CWT's but most people do so I accept that. Bruce
That's what I was going to say. Most CWT's are dated 1863 if I remember correctly. Bruce
So true but you can add to the quote by saying a ruined reputation is likely never restored. Bruce
Odd for sure but very interesting nevertheless. Bruce
I don't mind a dark coin here and there, but this one has a lot of problems that make it unattractive to me. Bruce
Couldn't have said it better, Ken. While I've traditionally collected mostly US coins and tokens, in recent years I've moved on to all...
Love it. Just sorry I didn't think of it.:D Bruce
So you're putting the wife ahead of coin collecting. Sounds like a good move...safer too.:D Bruce
Keep the coin. It obviously means something to you...something like an old friend.:) Bruce
