Message:: [QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1903485, member: 27832"]Heh. It's nice to see some more info popping up on this thread. Thanks, guys! I spent a good bit of time searching for "Buffington Thanksgiving" in various permutations, but without success. The seller was located in Fremont, California, but I have no idea how far the coin might have traveled before reaching him. I intend to submit the coin to either PCGS or NGC -- someday. I'd send it to ANACS, figuring they're as good as anyone for authentication/attribution, but they inexplicably turn up their noses at holed coins. "Plugged" ones are apparently fine, so I suppose I could stuff some chewing gum in the hole and send it off, but I can't quite bring myself to do that. I guess that free NGC membership that came around last year is about to expire; maybe I should check on that, and see whether I can muster enough similarly-categorized coins to justify a submission. Again, this came in the oddest yet of odd lots -- a bunch of cull IHCs and Lincolns that included an impaired 1931-S, a bunch of cull nickels that included an impaired 1912-S, and loads of other "goodies". I spend a great deal of time searching for another lot that might turn out to be as much fun.[/QUOTE]
