What a beautiful coin. One of my favorite. Never had one but wish I had. Bruce
I don't like the look of it either especially the surfaces. I would also say counterfeit. Bruce
Looks like somebody made a quick 20 cents.:rolleyes: Bruce
In addition to Daniel being my son's name your coin is absolutely beautiful. Bruce
A great haul for an LCS visit. Congrats! Bruce
I doubt that Shelly would mind.:D Bruce
I've never scanned my currency. I always use my camera and get excellent results. Bruce
The more I look at it I go with dwhiz at EF details. At first I thought maybe AU but since then. have changed my mind. Bruce
I hate to see the damage the cleaning has caused but it's still a nice little coin. Not sure how it would be graded though. Bruce
Yeah, I like the toning too. It took years of hard work to win such a prestigious medal and this one looks a match to that effort. Bruce
I'm looking forward to following your journey. A wonderful idea and something we probably should all do. Kindest regards, Bruce
I agree...this coin has been through a lot. Badly damaged but authentic. Bruce
Very, very nice coin in my opinion. Smooth, undamaged surfaces with an attractive gray color. I'd put it in my collection anytime. Bruce
$2,999.00 ? When donkeys fly!:D Bruce
Merchant or trade tokens often have a stated value...a good-for if you will. As you say though never legal tender. Bruce
I never felt strongly that Wealth of the South tokens should be considered CWT's but most people do so I accept that. Bruce
That's what I was going to say. Most CWT's are dated 1863 if I remember correctly. Bruce
So true but you can add to the quote by saying a ruined reputation is likely never restored. Bruce
Odd for sure but very interesting nevertheless. Bruce
I don't mind a dark coin here and there, but this one has a lot of problems that make it unattractive to me. Bruce
