chasingtailbar Pillar of the Community 968 Posts	Posted 08/16/2014 7:54 pm I scratch big X's on the faces of all my colonial coins. On a serious note, that's tragic. Edited by chasingtailbar 08/16/2014 7:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Singer Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 08/16/2014 8:12 pm Tragic is right. Love the description which includes "no other other notable detractions". Reminds me of the oldie but goodie, "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?" Report this Post to the Staff

Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 08/17/2014 06:12 am Ouch. You see that at times with later hammered coinage. Various theories why, but nobody is certain. Other series are more often found pierced (usually to wear as a keep-sake) than not. Smaller silver denominations are sometimes bent or folded. While these things were clearly done while the coins circulated and so are part of their history, sadly it doesn't improve them in most people's eyes. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3347 Posts	Posted 08/17/2014 09:27 am It looks fine to me but I prefer colonial silverware to colonial coins. Is it real? I'm used to seeing worse treatment given to counterfeits. Detested tyrants like Napoleon and Cromwell also get this kind of treatment. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
