[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 26195817, member: 90692"]Here is the last coin from the four I got from the flea market last April 28. It was on the second shelf in the back in poor light and I quickly scanned it. California statehood year, that was enough to seal the deal but I got another surprise. [ATTACH=full]1672605[/ATTACH] Around VG10, in the poor light and no loop I thought it was G4. The reverse was the surprise...it has lots of original color and is around F12. [ATTACH=full]1672606[/ATTACH] Hard to see from the pics but the obverse is brown but the reverse is red brown. Value-wise it settles out worth $7.50 more than what I paid for it which was $20. But it will never be sold by me, having become an instant heirloom item. It will go to one of my sons, my collection being divided equally between the 2 of them. The third coin was a 2021 2 Pound Britannia, which turned out to have facial hairlines and milk spots so I won't post it. It is still a beautiful gem of a coin and it was my first pick up of those.
