(To be continued) ... Hadn't intended to stretch this little serial out quite so long, but now that I have, it's kinda fun. Not to worry, there...
Aha. @desertgem beat me here, and had it covered quite succinctly while I was typing my overly long reply.
All right, Children. Let's all try to be civil and not force me to send this thread to Purgatory, pretty please? New people: (in general- not...
Oh, I assure you I too was utterly spellbound when I first heard the story in 1994, though I was getting the bare bones of it and not the highly...

... So our homeowner stands for a moment, dumbstruck by the discovery of the box. It takes him a moment or two to realize that it must be a box....

In 1994 a North Carolina coin dealer told me this tale, or the bare bones of it, anyway. It allegedly happened near Orangeburg, South Carolina,...
Sez you. ;) But to me, it's kinda like those so-called "magic eye" posters (autostereograms). On rare occasions I can see the "hidden image" in...
@Ikw - don't feel bad- after 42 years in numismatics I have to confess that still can't reliably tell the difference between the LD and SD...

She's just a cat, so she doesn't have any badly mutilated pocket change to post on the Error Coins forum.
Merged the other (redundant) thread about the same coin into this one. The duplicate was in the Error Coins forum. This isn't an error coin. No...
