Thanks for starting this thread. I've never given much thought into coins like this but can now see the appeal. See, you can still teach an old...
I wouldn't own a coin like this due to the damage. However, if these kind of altered coins were things that interested me then I'd probably think...

I think many or most of us older folks were in the same position as you are now at your age. There's nothing wrong with taking time off for other...

My avatar is a radar image of one of the many tornadoes I encountered working at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Oklahoma. I'm fortunate...
Nice looking 1909 VDBs. The raccoons living in my neighborhood are not in the same condition:-)
I'd slab it have it listed in one of the signature auctions.
