<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1871636, member: 19463&quot;]While not the typical coin of the century, I agree that the cartwheels are cool coins.&nbsp; I have two far less than high grade ones.&nbsp; The metal is soft and they beat each other up even if just falling a short distance as in filling a bag.&nbsp; We poor folks need to decide if we want a worn coin or one with &#039;problems&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]315958[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315959[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is an example of photos being deceptive unless you know the trick.&nbsp; One of my coins is a 2d while the other is only 1d.&nbsp; If you count the leaves on the branch on the reverse you&#039;ll find one extra leaf at 10 o&#039;clock on the 2d.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to know why they thought it was necessary to make this little difference but still make it so very slight.&nbsp; </p><p>The seller that sold my 2d had at least a hundred of them and all were faulty.&nbsp; Some had edge nicks (I have several coins that weigh more than the metal missing from the largest nick).&nbsp; Many were engraved like love tokens.&nbsp; Others were just defaced.&nbsp; None would be suitable for most collections but I wish how I had bought a sampling of them just as curiosities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
