@Eduard, thanks for the back story, sounds good. It's most likely considerably more valuable now than when you bought it. I still don't see it as...
You're pics are great! Now, I normally do not attempt to grade anything by pic alone - I only like to express an opinion when I have the coin in...
Well, the consensus seems to adequately answer this, however, the contrarian in me says ho...no, no, no...SELL!!!! ...& don't counter offer, just...
OK, that's the hook, which begs the question: Did you skip lunch that day??? :joyful::cool:
Randy, you may have some faults (I can't imagine what...) but this isn't one of them! :D;)
Paul, we're all space collectors...we have an empty space & we have to fill it...eventually...:smuggrin::singing:;)
Randy, it's not so much "hearing" the call, we must actually understand that particular language to understand that we are being summoned. I...

Not going to guess, but I love these guys, & this is a really fine specimen. Thanks for posting it! :):singing:
Nah, let's just call it a badly worn Lincoln cent & be done with it! :D:joyful::joyful::joyful::jawdrop:;)
@Nann, this post is an excellent example of what most of us have been through at one time or another: we see something that just doesn't make...
@Nann did not post the OP's coin; it's an example. The OP's coin is normal.

I still find it a thrill to hold an "experienced" coin from mid-last-century, ie, around my age! :D:joyful:;)
I sometimes use iron castings in my woodworking projects. I get them from several bulk dealers & they usually have been sitting around for awhile...
