[QUOTE="DoK U Mint, post: 704383, member: 18848"][b]Knew I was robbed for 10 Cents[/b] My coin shaped artifact "token" goes with me in my pocket. It is ugly, light to the touch, is not stamped "COPY/REPLICA/BOGUS", JUMPS toward a magnet and almost looks like a vintage US Morgan Silver Dollar. Despite NO Morgans being officially Minted in CC in 1886 (wasn't that because the Mint was run by crooks?) I find this a wonderful coin to carry in my pocket until some mugger prys it from my cold dead jeans pocket. Until then, I take it to yard sales and ask folks if they have any coins that resemble it. I've had two offers to take it off my hands for $20. They were old folks so I didn't Dope~slap them on the spot.:D But this coin is SO bad that I've had a lot of fun telling others how BAD it is. It's just scary that they may be getting GOOD at it around the Pacific Rim jobbers.:ohya:[/QUOTE]
