I love my neighbourhood scrap dealer. This is what lay at the bottom of a box of scrap sterling coins. 2 dollars later, it's mine! how much do you guys think it could be worth in such (terrible) condition? Rim nicks from pliers, gouge next to vickie, and little to no detail?

I would disagree; this pick has likely sucked all of the good luck out of Ontario for the foreseeable future.
