Wow - nice coin!
A great story at christmas time and sounds like something my local dealer would do. Thanks for sharing.
Nice 1867. When I saw the picture I though I knew it. I came close to adding it to my collection, but not close enough evidently. :):) But I did...

Sorry to hear that you could not get verification. It would be nice to see a new variety found.
Nice coins. I remember somewhere someone created a clock using all the different rotation on the 1807 coins.
I seem to recall someone mentioning on here that not all coins (even ones previously slabbed) will cross back over into an NGC problem free slab....
