Loving A Coin In Poor Condition

Definitely. I have to dig it out of my SDB. Probably Wednesday. You may have to remind me

That's very cool p The story behind it makes it something you'll cherish for a long time

My entire personal collection is in a SDB. It's been there 7 years now, and will remain there contrary to what some say about trusting banks...I've never had a problem, yet.
The above mentioned coin is one that I really like along with many (and much $ spent on them). I would never keep them in my apartment while my wife and I are at work. I just bought a home, and plan on getting a large safe but, the more expensive/cherished coins will remain at the bank

Great piece of history! Congrats!

Exactly! Aren't you dying to get a close-up look at the edges of this coin's reverse?

That's awesome! I'd love to see them. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to detect in Rupert,VT; I did so much research before the trip as to where the Mint building of Reuben Harmon may have been. I found Millbrook Stream, and ventured into the woods with my detector. I stumbled upon a mill site and my heart starting racing. To make a long story short, I was in search of any Vermont Coppers but came up empty handed. I did however find a neat colonial era horse bit and several colonial era square nails. I plan on going back soon with better info :-)

Nice. Actually looks like little wear. Through the corrosion, I can see plenty of detail.

jpsned - that's a great find. I love old copper and especially the ones that are well traveled.




That's the best part when there's some detail peeking thru!
