This is a pretty decent looking coin from what I can see. The date is clear enough even at a distance. The pics leave way too much room around the coin, making it difficult to see, but what is easy to see is that the coin is lying ...

On a dirty sock.

:(

Well, on the bright side I'm sure the coin has seen far worse in its' long life.
Rest in Peace

That's Cudabob's 'signature' background on most all of his items.

I agree with Silver Searcher that the sock looks clean, and is just grey...

There's a definite spot on the sock lower right. Talk about airing your dirty laundry. And the comment about locking this thread for bad puns is spot on.

I like your idea!

(I personally agree with the theory that it's clean - or perhaps had been washed after being dirty - and is just naturally that shade of grey.)

Does it come with the sock? Someone may collect coins and also like feet.

Given his feedback, there seem to be a lot of people who don't mind the sock!

I have wondered for years why he doesn't put up better and bigger pictures - never mind the sock.
