<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GerardV, post: 2921414, member: 76329&quot;]I have to admit, there is a &quot;widow mite&quot; slabbed coin like this in my collection. My only defense is that it&#039;s a gift from a family member with good intentions, but misguided execution.</p><p><br /></p><p>He heard I started to collect ancients and mailed me a box with one of these, and a few other viable coins. One is a Theodosius that still has the $8 price tag and might be fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>On another crappy coin topic - a friend gave me a bin of &quot;collector&quot; coins to go through for her sister that is chock full of coins designed to separate the inexperienced from their money. Things like gold plated mint cents, gold plated clad St Gaudins rounds, well worn walking liberty half dollars put in a holder with the same year Mercury dime and sold as &quot;classic American&quot; coin sets, etc, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are a few legit collector coins, but they are packaged in cellphone. So they look good, but have hairlines that make them all but worthless. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nearly all of the packages have the same company name on them. I&#039;m not going to out it there, but as a hint it starts with Little and ends&nbsp; with ton.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
