mrwhiskers, you're not referring to the $50,000 chopstick, are you?


Seller: Hey, I found this old chopstick beside a dumpster. You think it's worth anything?
Pawn Shop Owner: Well, I think it's from the Ming Dynasty.
Seller: Really? That old, eh?
Pawn Shop Owner: I meant it's probably from the Chinese Restaurant across the street, which is named the Ming Dynasty Buffet.

Aluminum for $1000--don't forget the shipping!

Info on the item is within this 1970 article (Lombardo Mint), about the time it was minted.

https://www.nytimes.com/1970/08/23/...-island.html

Unlike the article, Numista only lists the aluminum medal under Lombardo products.

It looks more like fire / heat damage - that sometimes causes "blisters" on clad coins.

Well spotted, mr wiskers - that is hilarious!

"These rare 1965 Roosevelt dimes are a must-have for any collector. Featuring an error that makes it unique, this coin is a great addition to any collection. no mint marks, these copper dimes have a fineness of 0.5 and are circulated.

The coin features an error that adds to its rarity and value. With certification being uncertified, this coin has a circulated status. Denomination of 10C, these Roosevelt dimes are a great opportunity to add to your collection."
