I can't tell you how many times, in my lifetime that I've done crazier things with $12. Where I live, summertime temps get well above 100, I'm planning on letting this guy sit in my windowsill for awhile. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19972 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 10:21 pm $12 isn't too bad. Use it as a pocket piece for a year and see if it improves. It will probably look better as a full brown AU coin. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 10:31 pm using it as a pocket piece might ruin the detail in the beard. I carry two sets of keys plus my sons very first Air Force "honor-coin" in one pocket. My other pocket always has some change rolling around in it. (I refuse to pay via debit or credit card if at all possible) There's no "return" when I pay with plastic. lol It's in the kitchen windowsill....and I'll rub it once or twice a week. Hopefully, it'll tone back up to an honest AU or EF in a couple of years. Report this Post to the Staff
