Don't see these too often, nevertheless on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300952715883I already advised the seller that it's in the wrong category. And chuckled about the additional shipping. Neat to see though. |

 How ironic a thread popped up about this coin. I was just holding it in my hand yesterday when I visited The Coin Cabinet. It's a rather nice piece and graded appropriately. Very scarce coin, however, my love for coins stops at 1967. The coin has a distracting scratch on the Reverse's top left hand side. I just think to myself how many unfortunate souls used this coin to buy a mere coffee or pay for parking at a parking meter, etc., not realizing what they had? Glenn  |

I doubt there's any there JeyRey. I heard that Neil Armstrong buried a stash of them on the Moon a few weeks before Woodstock kicked off.

To be honestly truthful, I believe I had one of those in my change back in 1970/71, didn't think much about it... |

You know, for such a rare coin you'd think the picture would be a bit better (maybe right side up for example) and the description might be a bit more detailed.
Just sayin'

This is the first coin I ever learned had any value. Back in elementary school there was a coin book in the school library saying it's worth $10,000. I thought for sure I had one before but it could've easily been a small date.
