Just think if you would have the shop drill a hole in those, throw in a gold chain, you could wear them around your neck!!! Just kidding! Jewelry stores could sure add a lot of business if all of them carried coins! Be a lot more traffic in this area!

I was just thinking this myself the other day. But then I suppose much of the staff probably wouldn't have a clue about coins.

Metalman, were these simply for sale as coins or were they destined for bezels or worse? I just don't get a jewelry store selling coins. Most collectors wouldn't think to look there. At least I would not have until now. Jim  |

Funny you should say that. The reason I was in there was to get him to repair an 18k gold rope chain I had and to affix a 1921 Morgan that already a hole drilled in it when I got it. The coin I had had a while, and the necklace was a gift to me from my mom 20 or so years ago. Since I had them both, I figured "Why not?" MM |

I am not a copper person, I got this one for my 7070 set. On the NGC board, some say AU and some say EF. Maybe coppercoins can come in here and help out. I guess the question is: Is it EF45 or AU50........ MM  Edited by morganman

The thing to remember about coppers is you have to grade them like your name is Scrooge.  In the interest of compromise, I'll call it a nice EF. The '04 isn't the worst strike I've ever seen, either. |

Back in the Dark ages when I started Collecting 2 Cents I would call it Ef45 Today ANACS would give it at least a 58 NGC would probably be around 53 and PCGS 55 Either way its a very nice one and if you ever want to part with it let me know.
