By who ? Never mind, I think I know now after reading another of your posts. Twiggs I don't want to discourage you or hurt your feelings, but this coin has been very harshly cleaned and is damaged to boot. Now if you were aware of this before you bought the coin then OK. But I get the feeling you were not. And I'd be willing to bet you could get the same coin, in the same grade - problem free, if you used a good honest dealer. And probably for about the same amount of money you paid for this one.
there is alot of scanner light reflection on that one..will have to work out resolution more and yes GD..I knew the bison had a booboo..lol

Damn Twiggs! I fell over standing on my head to view your coin! Yes, it's in pretty good shape, yes it's been cleaned and yes KEEP posting them! Might I suggest buying a loupe? Most people go with a 5X or 10X. I carry a 16X to look for errors. Whatever you choose they are not expensive, you can always carry one and they last forever. I've had my 16 for at least 15 years. clembo
man, I love large cents too... [drool] that newfie large cent is only a fine??? Looks to be better to me, but I've never seen one before, so go figure...lol

Nice job on the Centennial nickel. I've found all of two so far, one for me, one for my son. They are really difficult to find in circulation.
I had seen the medal and coin in a set on one of the websites I was looking at last week. So when I saw the medal, I grabbed it to go with the coin. Now I cant find the site the set was on..lol Heres one with a hole in it selling for 9.99 US plus 5.00 SH..so I guess the 2.00 I paid was a bargain http://cgi.ebay.com/CANADA-The-Big-...oryZ3387QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
