<p>[QUOTE="goincarcrazy, post: 1431239, member: 25004"]Hi all! I just wanted to throw this one up to get everyone's take on it. I bought this a few years ago at the biggest garage sale in the world (ebay) and ever since I've been kind of wondering its story. I don't necessarily think it's counterfeit but I've not quite seen another coin like it. It had great luster in person, rings like silver, does not attract to magnets, and weighs correctly, but even with the cartwheel luster it looks a bit dull in the shine department. Possibly dipped? I don't really know.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I come to the great people of CoinTalk to...well....talk, about this coin and to ask your opinions on its story. I can try for better pics later if this isn't good enough (I've been meaning to re-shoot my type set anyway). I look forward to what everyone has to say!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/goingcarcrazy/966e31bf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
