Yeah, it's a shame -- but if it hadn't been damaged, someone else would own it, having paid a lot more than I did. :rolleyes: At least now I have...
Fascinating little things, aren't they? I've got a bunch, but nearly all rimless, and many dateless. I've got one that might have some luster...
You know, that's good enough for me. :)
Anything yet denominated in sevenths (or elevenths, or any other higher prime)?
Have... have you ever actually seen a CAC sticker? I won't presume to speak for @Lehigh96, but I can tell you why I've used BIN instead of...

If I thought coins minted or spent with evil intent carry that evil with them, I wouldn't be a collector. I can't imagine many coins would be...
So you're holding... half a bitcoin? Or do you mean you bought half a bitcoin yesterday, and sold it today?
Of course, that can be problematic if the country is one of the things you're trying to figure out. ;) I saw what looked like Greek letters, and...
Greece, 2 drachmai, looks like.
Let's hope that the buyers are just looking for something "pretty" (to them), and not an investment. Let's also hope that the seller doesn't roast...
