Message:: [QUOTE="ColonialCoin4, post: 2760619, member: 86090"]Does cherry picking only incompass varieties? If not, I was at my LCS when I saw the junk bins. I've had a very good track record with junk bins, (See my post in the thread post your finds under $50), But this was the junk of the junk for only ten cents apiece <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I run my hand through the whole barrel, because I have almost memorized the weight of colonial/early US coinage, and I feel something. I pull it up and it's a dateless draped bust Large Cent, even though a guy I was bragging about it to said when he held it he could see a two. Thinking I found a gold mine, about 5 other people started to sift their hands through the massive barrels. I was the only one to find something after that. I feel a thin copper coin and immediately knew it was colonial. But just what was it since almost every planchet was unique? I pull it out and it's a corroded Connecticut 1787 Mailed Bust Left[/QUOTE]
