eBay listing: Ultra Rare! 1823 (?) Large Penny (I'm too stupid to say Cent). I am not a collector, I just relieved an old lady of these coins. See pictures for details. I was told that this coin was in the personal possession of Andrew Jackson on his death bed. It is family history that he personally shot the other 1/3 of the coin with his musket. I believe this to be true, since Mom never lied to me (except about the birds & the bees). Ultra rare piece of history. Opening Bid: $10,000 Buy-It-Now: $1,250,000 Postage & Handling: .41
I'll trade you a 1900 Lincoln Cent for one!!! VDB-S and everything....really....I'm tellin the truth!!!! That's right 1900!!!
I'll take the first one that arrives in the mail. Now, I have to go ask my Mom about that Birds & Bees thingie !
i love carrying circulated world coins and v nickels buffalo nickels mercury dimes etc all around with my 'current' coins ~ makes it very interesting to shake them out when paying w/change ~ people ask 'what are 'those...?' and i get to talk about coins. it was world coins that finally hooked me into coin collecting ~ those huge buckets of mixed coins that you could touch and hold and envision the thousands of people over hundreds of years that held those same coins ~ great stuff
Couldn't have said it better myself. That's the main reason I collect world and ancient coins. Imagining where the coin has been, and who held it.
Twiggs... Did someone rob the Dad's collection and spend it at your register?? WOW nice finds.. RickieB :smile
