[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1709682, member: 27832"]Continuing to pore over, analyze, and photograph last week's [URL="http://www.cointalk.com/t227450/"]eBay "pig in a poke"[/URL], this time focusing on the roll or so of wheat cents it promised to include. When I got it, I saw right away that there were a lot of steelies, in really terrible shape -- rusted, roasted, and otherwise generally abused. I finally fished out maybe 40 or so; I'm thinking about (ugh) [I]cleaning[/I] the worst of the rust off them, and using them to make local "take a penny" boxes more interesting. There were also a few novelty memorial cents, gold-plated or otherwise PMD'd -- and these five other cents. First one I turned up: [ATTACH]262631.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]262632.vB[/ATTACH] I was pretty surprised -- yeah, it's a bit abused, but not the sort of thing I expected to find in a lot like this. Oh, yeah, that five-attachments limit -- guess I'll break this into multiple posts...[/QUOTE]
