<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrsmat71, post: 3791873, member: 42634&quot;]Allow me to share my coin show screw up from just a few weeks ago!&nbsp; My vision has gone to crap at short range as I&#039;m closing in on 50 years of age.&nbsp; With my bifocal glasses my vision under 21/2 feet is moderately crappy, without them...well you&#039;ll see.&nbsp; I usually take a pair of 2X magnifier reading glasses to the coin shows, but I lost them somewhere at the show.&nbsp; No big loss, they were 3 buck glass.&nbsp; But I didn&#039;t have them when I found this dude that had a English hammered coin mixed in with a bunch of random stuff like struck Indian princely state coppers.&nbsp;&nbsp; I asked him what it was and he said he didn&#039;t know.&nbsp; I searched for some English pennies online and couldn&#039;t figure out what it was, gave up searching with the spotty internet connection.&nbsp;&nbsp; I thought it was&nbsp; cool so picked it up off of him.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here it is...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1013086[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yikes, look at all those blobs you can clearly see with good light and decent magnification. Didn&#039;t see them at the show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edge...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1013087[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yikes, what an edge.&nbsp;&nbsp; How did I not see that. </p><p><br /></p><p>At home searching on a nice big monitor hooked up to my PC with a sweet internet connection, I figured out it was&nbsp; a William I penny in about 5 minutes.&nbsp; Not the type of coin you would fin thrown in the the miscellaneous bargain bin coins.&nbsp; I really don&#039;t think the seller had any idea what it was, and I didn&#039;t spend much money on it, so I&#039;ll just added to my fake coin box.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
