I do love a mystery like this. Try "the Tater Trick", maybe, and see what happens? Post progress pics of the process, if you do. I'm curious to...
One technique I used with some of my finds like this was to cut a slit in a raw potato and leave the "crusty critter" coin in there overnight....
Haha! Autocorrect strikes again! I think a Swiss franchise is worth considerably more than one US dollar! LOL ;)
Rounds 7 and 8 are closed. There's a Flying Eagle cent available in Round 9. [IMG]
So now we come to... ROUND 9. The prize for this round is a... United States: copper-nickel Flying Eagle cent, 1857 [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
OK, it's time for the drawing for Round 8. Our lucky number was... 295! [ATTACH] And Post #295 was by... @Abramthegreat! ... on behalf of...
At this point, it's gonna be surprising if he doesn't get it! LOL But let's see. It's about time for the drawing...

Me too, based on the photos, but the NGC coin was worth a go at the lower price, I think. Even after there are professional photos made of it, it...
Multiple winners will be drawn. Two of ‘em here, two of ‘em on CU, as mentioned. Disclaimer: I do not yet have them in hand as of this post,...
1/1/23: This contest is now CLOSED. Winners were announced in Posts #58 and #59. Hello, everyone, and welcome to the latest giveaway. In...
With a decimal point there like that instead of a comma, I'd go for it! LOL. A buck ninety-seven? Doesn't seem so bad! ;) These are cool, but...
Going by the photos. This is why I made the notes about photo quality above. The NGC coin is indeed darker brown, but does not have especially...
This too would sound somewhat plausible to me except the color looks more coppery to me than lead, and most bag/bale seals I’m accustomed to...
Shipping update The following two prize lots are now in the mailbox to be shipped tomorrow, Monday, December 5th: Round 6 (1866 copper-nickel...
