Don't buy that ticket. If there were anything to luck, you just used yours all up. Great find!
I use cash at drive-up windows such as for fast food, because I can't see what they do with my card. I mostly use CC for everything else that...
I'd guess 62 or 63. I like the little die breaks in STATES, and would put it in a 2x2 and keep it, as Michael K suggested. But the value is not...
Congratulations!!
Wow!
As others said, it is just damaged. (There does appear to be a little insignificant bleed of black ink from bill under it onto the reverse of...

That's how long I've had custody of it (actually 58 of its 244 years; the .234 is a rounded figure). As a collector for many years, I have come...
My apologies for not posting the back. I took the photo years ago for a classroom need, and somehow failed to photograph the reverse. It is now...
Entry Post. I bought this when I was about 12, which means I have possessed it for about 23.4% of its existence. When I bought it I had no idea...
Zinc deterioration, from whatever cause. Spend it before it self destructs even further, as it undoubtedly will.
It's a draft registration card. Only males registered for the draft. Great posts! I love this thread!!
I'd cry if that were my coin. Somebody scraped at least $100 off that Indian. Spending it would be the kind thing to do. Eventually, if cents...

Or a dented maintenance access hole cover.
