dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 1:02 pm hey its worth a shot, right? and its certainly the most believable "find" I've read on this forum in recent weeks. I'm waiting for a 1792 Half Dsime to show up in someone's Wheat cent roll at the rate things are going. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/14/2014 6:40 pm Perhaps it may be worth slabbing, to find out how low it could go. Rarity is important. There would not be too many slabs out there, where the coin contained therein is rated at zero. As such, the combination could well have some collector value above the silver value.
