Bit of a railroad rim happening there, too?
It says right on the label that it's a "token". And while you may not like it, there are plenty of others who do. Aren't you glad you don't have...
Looking at it more closely, I say "profile of either Bob Hope or Richard Nixon". And I stand corrected about the zinc-core issue. In the scheme...
I'm not sure I've ever seen an off-center Zincoln without the silvery pre-rot exposed. And that last digit looks to me like a '0'. Anyone else agree?
I'm not sure whether I'd become aware of coin collecting by then, but it wouldn't have been long after. And I was getting an allowance, too -- as...

Just think of it like a blank tile in Scrabble. No value on its own, but it can take the place of any letter you like. ;)
I'm finding that "the coin isn't worth slabbing" rubs me the wrong way after the rest of the comments. I prefer "slabbing isn't worth it for this...
But buying a do-it-yourself slab or plastic holder is cheaper still. And if you do that, you can label it with the coin's provenance...
I agree with @Randy Abercrombie on the actual value, but have to disagree with @Robert Ransom on the grade -- I don't see any trace of LIBERTY on...
I think this all stems from a fundamental character flaw: self-control. Beat that, and the sky's the limit, at least until the money runs out...
Okay, finally had to figure out how to measure distance on Google Maps. Bottom point on the ruler is Antietam Battlefield; top point is the house...
Thanks for the followup. Now we've got at least one data point. :)
You just said you got married. o_O
