Not to mention the 30 cents extra value! Edited by snailking1 Yesterday 5:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26001 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:30 pm I have seen auctions where such gold-damaged coins pull in crazy numbers. For example, check out what so-called "racketeer" nickels sell for. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Vector Ze Pillar of the Community United States 583 Posts	Posted Yesterday 4:57 pm I wouldn't go out of my way for one. On the other hand, I'd probably keep it, along with lots of other oddballs I've run across over the years. I've even kept a Lincoln Cent placed in a 2x2 that I found with a little advertising sticker a half century ago. Just because (it was only a Cent). The place being advertised long ago went out of business. Dang, maybe if I'd of spent that the place would've gotten enough business to not go belly up.

But it does go back to a time when the little beach town it was in, and that I have fond memories of, hadn't yet been replaced by nightclubs and high rise condos. Report this Post to the Staff
