You can find a lot of coins in superb condition, a lot in average circulated condition but you seldom see them so worn. In fact in 60 years of collecting I have never seen one so worn. It is almost as if it was a "lucky touch piece" and someone was continually rubbing it. They don't need to be on the Sheldon Scale and collected in lumps of plastic to be interesting! Thank you for sharing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
