Not bad, for being out in the wild for 41 years. You saw my 1961 cent. Never thought a Memorial cent would be worth the time to photograph.
It's just got some funky toning (mild environmental damage), and marks from circulation, that's all. Worth a quarter.
Nice gift. The coins appear to have been harshly cleaned, polished, or whizzed, so not premium examples by any means, but hey, the price was...
It got toolmarked from whatever damaged it. That left the interesting contours.
Don't have any right now except the stuff in my detector finds album. Here's one, just as it was found. [IMG] [IMG] There's another at...
Somewhere beneath the dustbunnies and giant mats of cat hair, I've got a blue Whitman folder of Jeffersons I was working on- strictly with...
You didn't know Washington was on the denarius and a few tetradrachms? Here is my EID MAR. [IMG] (The joke will be lost on all but the Ancient...
Nice haul! Doesn't really qualify for a "face value, but fun" thread, though, since those are worth more than face value! PS- my all-time...

I don't think anybody can truly complete such a set like that sweeping Augustus-to-Zeno one I was working on in 2007-08. That's one of those...

But still kinda fun. Quite a lot of original red left for a 57 year old cent found in circulation. Post your "face value, but fun" finds. [ATTACH]
Here's another non-US specimen strike. PCGS SP65 RB. I could never hope to afford a US pattern/specimen, but this French piece was attractive,...
For bullion price? Score!!! :greedy:
PS- I had to Google "aplustre", so there's another vocabulary word for the day. :)
That's a great type, super history, and happily the break did not affect Libertas' head- that's neat how it goes all around it but does nothing...
I had this old Nassau (Bahamas) souvenir paperweight with various coins in it (British, East Caribbean, and Haitian). Judging from the BU grade...

Aha- look at this. My French is weak at best, but there's one posted on a French metal detecting site, which seems in synch with what you've said...
