Little reluctant to post this one, as it's a little beat up, especially the scratches on the face.   |

Its a great looking coin. I am from Georgia and would LOVE to have one of these. I am not too concerned with scratches if I really want the coin. That is as long as I paid a fair price for the condition.
Anyway, where did you get it?

My dad actually bought them for $100, and I have since commandeered them from him. It is a bag full of coins, and most of them are really old. One of my favorites is a coin that has to be about 1/4 of a inch in diameter, that is about a hundred years old (1/4 real is the value of the coin I believe). It is amazing someone didn't lose every single one of those things. And I live in Georgia as well ;).

looks like it maintained some luster...aside from the scratches on the obverse, its got great eye appeal...i know advised 2x2's in another one of your threads and I will say the same...get these puppies buttoned up in some level of protection and get them out of the bag banging into one another! nice collection so far

I'm looking into getting some 2x2s right now. I'm going to figure out some way to separate them next time I move the bag if I don't have 2x2s by then. I've avoided moving them for that reason, but I guess the previous owner had no worry of their condition, although I am slightly to blame for not already seeing about it.

there is no blame, only learning...I'm green still too when compared to the vast knowledge base housed in the brains of the users of this site...this is the right place to be

Yeah, I've been posting here less than a day, and already I've seen some very smart people as pertaining to coins (As well as other things).
Apologies for not posting this in the correct, commemorative section as well, didn't notice it until a minute ago...

Stone Mountain halves more often turn up with wear then most other commemorative halves.
Why is that?

A couple of my Stone Mountains look like they were in circulation for years...They may not be as valuable as a MS coin,,but they look cool....That's a nice coin!!

Always enjoy these classic silver commemorative ... Your lovely coin IMHO has a technical grade of XF ... although the obverse scratches would render this coin as a 'details' example. Quote:

Why is that? Because the net distribution of 1,314,709 coins leads the classic silver commemorative parade ... and many were spent at face value for food during the USA great depression. Looking forward to seeing whatever else is inside that bag of coins. David |
