<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 438451, member: 12965&quot;]I totally agree with Eduard on the condition of the coin when it was lost. I can see the leaf detail so that coin hit the ground when it was uncirculated or slightly circulated.&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As to how it got there, plagues me with almost all of my coins.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; But the answer is actually simple, it was the working man&#039;s money so it was in their pockets and easily fell out of them to end up being found a couple hundred years later.&nbsp; :stooge:&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are peeps that think a dug coin ain&#039;t worth much but I disagree, considering how hard it would be to have a set that is free of corrosion unless you have a mountain of money to spend on them. When I use the pics from the Husak collection, I am always amazed at the condition of his coins and so jealous at the same time.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I tried to acquire a MS condition LCC about a month ago and my $1,600.00 snipe bid was puny compared to the winning bid.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Hopefully, someday, I can spend 5 grand for one and not bat an eye but until then, I love my corroded pennies.&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
