1901 Oldsmobile

Thanks! I got a 1942 Mercury dime once from a cent roll. This one though made that lovely familiar ring as it fell out.

very interesting find! congrats!

Wow, rare indeed!

That is one of the coolist finds - congrats!

wow, from a cwr? Could the person really have missed that unintentionally? I could see it being dumped into a machine and re-rolled, but in a roll? nice pic too.

Almost Numisma - doing the quick research the search engine turned up a few restored 1901 Oldsmobiles. Pretty interesting vehicles! It's kind of neat when something odd like this, or the ring from the other thread, get people thinking about unrelated things that become intertwined for a moment in time. I probably wouldn't have looked at pictures of the real thing otherwise. Here are the front and back shots of the cleaned up mini-bar of sterling -

Cashed it in at the LCS; $0.60.

I would have kept it, but to each his own.
