Wow! Impressive finds, if not impressive quality. That piece is pinned to my holey coin cork board now, as you know. ;)
Oho! A cherrypicker, hmm? ;)
You're a brave soul! :hilarious:
These are neat little coins. I picked this one up for around $26 USD , about seven years ago. [ATTACH]
I'm torn between AU58 and low MS. I'm gonna guess UNC details, cleaned. Nice coin for a Dansco 7070 or similar type set.
This contest is now CLOSED. Winner was announced in Post #28. Happy Halloween, everyone! :vamp: This is another "instant" giveaway, meaning it...
