Winesteven Pillar of the Community United States 697 Posts	Posted 01/01/2021 10:38 pm This thread reminds me of an encounter I had with a friend decades ago. Knowing I have a slight interest in coins, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a coin. He says " I've got one of these old Ben Franklin half dollars. On the back of it, there's a bell of some kind, but something is wrong with this coin, as there's a crack in this coin on the bell." A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!

Big heavy coins, with lots of smooth open area for hits to show, and silver is a relatively soft metal. Edited by Conder101 01/02/2021 04:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
