IndianGold - Can we see a pic of that one? I'm curious to see how its aged. Its great you can say where its been and who has had it since it was originally bought in 25.

My Grandmother kept this coin in a leather coin change purse along with some Indian cents, V-Nics, a few foreign coins, and an 1853 arrows Half Dime (all of which I still have in that leather purse). So it got banged around over the years, clouded up from the leather in the purse, and received the 3 O'Clock rim ding when I dropped it on the kitchen floor at age 10. Even though it did not circulate, it now would carry an AU grade. Before it joined my 7070, it got dipped in Jeweluster to take the uglies off because of poor eye appeal as it was flat and dull looking. I did not expect to see the luster that still remained. This is one that has more sentimental value than monetary and was my choice for the album other than a nice MS coin. It will get passed down to my son one day with the history that goes with it.
