Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 03/04/2014 4:43 pm Thought I would share this latest purchase. I believe the seller's claim that he dug it up in Virginia some 20 years ago. The pictures in the auction were a bit blurry so I thought I would take a shot at it in hopes of flipping it for some free silver. In hand, it shows a much darker and more uniform patina. I just couldn't get my focus and lighting right on this one. Anyways, I paid $35 for it and really don't think I could flip it for much more. After doing a little research I have fallen in love with the history of this coin and probably will just keep it.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/04/2014 5:58 pm $35 was an excellent price for what this coin is. It's a very common coin in the post Colonial's but yours appears to have easy AU details. I like it :-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
