philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 11:25 pm It seems to be a particularly American sentiment; "Nothing can look so good that I can't make it look better!" Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 11:40 pm So basically what you have here is a 5K coin, destroyed. If this was done recently, I want to, lets just say punish the person who did it! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

kevro22 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 09:32 am I could not imagine sitting down to do that, I have a hard enough time just holding coins with such history and importance, not to mention destroying them... Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5207 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 11:11 am So sad to see that. I sure hope it was done many many many many years ago. Maybe some hobo did it during the deprssion so now it is more valuable since it is a Hobo Dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 11:40 am The cases are real. The litigants are real. Today in Judge Judy's court: JJ - I read your complaint Miss Liberty. You accuse Mr. Stew Pidman of ruining your hair. Will you please explain what happened? ML - (Ripping off an ill-fitting wig) Just look at it your Honor! JJ - Oh, yes. As a woman I feel your pain, Miss Liberty. And what is your defense, Mr. Pidman? SP - I was just strengthening a few of her highlights. JJ - I've seen and heard enough. Judgement for the plaintive in the amount of $5000. (Not that humor helps much in this case.)

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 12:52 pm This coin sold last month in the Goldberg Pre-Long Beach Sale Lot 1371 for $1,553. Not a bad profit for one month. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 1:13 pm OUCH! Can anyone provide a link to the photo of the sale Conder101 mentions? Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 2:16 pm Change "retooled" to "strengthened," and delete "cleaned," and you net $400. Good job. http://images.goldbergauctions.com/...=1371&lang=1 Edited by philadelphian 03/15/2013 2:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
