So almost three weeks ago, I get a 1960 - 1985 counter-stamped, gold plated half from my dealer's cash box.
Suffice it to say, found to be granny bait from the 80's that sold for $6
Today, making a "bank raid" in town for halves and dollars, one of the cute tellers at my chosen branch of my bank remarks "This one sounds a little funny, maybe it's silver?"
She places it down and we both see that it's got a slight golden hue, and well looky there, a 1960 - 1980 counter-stamped
bicentennial half surely made by the same outfit 5 years earlier.
"Oh yeah, I got another one of those a while back" I say, "Not enough gold on it to make it worth more than face value."
"Sure looks funny, though"
I thanked her as I set it aside separately from the rest of the lot.
Picture of BOTH my counterstamped halves and a regular one for comparison.
