<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2798574, member: 10461&quot;]This one was in an old paper envelope from an <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/130-pc-lot-older-world-coins-in-paper-envelopes-from-the-1960s-70s.298633/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/130-pc-lot-older-world-coins-in-paper-envelopes-from-the-1960s-70s.298633/">45-50-year-old collection</a> I sold recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>I held it back not because it was worth all that much, but because I hadn&#039;t seen one of these tiny little things in a while.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Despite my cellphone photos which don&#039;t show the grey tone, this one is an AU example, I&#039;d say. But upon getting it under a loupe, I found it has a strange flaw/irregularity on the reverse that almost looks like somebody attached a button shank to it or something. </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh well.&nbsp; Bummer.&nbsp; I just offered it to somebody for the ca. 1966-73 price that&#039;s penciled on the envelope: six bucks.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it&#039;s nothing to write home about.&nbsp; But a fun little coin to squint at on a Sunday morning.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last time I had one of these, I could actually <i>see</i> the thing <i>without</i> glasses.&nbsp; Now I can&#039;t make out anything on it <i>with</i> glasses.&nbsp; Had to use glasses plus a loupe!&nbsp; *sigh*</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I had to drop it on the rug no less than three times while taking these pictures.&nbsp; (I mean, that was mandatory, right?&nbsp; It&#039;s what one <i>does</i> with coins like this.)&nbsp; It&#039;s a wonder I ever found it again.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/panamapill-3-png.651814/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/panamapill-2-png.651813/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/panamapill-1-png.651812/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
