thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 06/18/2014 07:26 am Pretty nasty all right. I've gotten Seated halves for melt in similar condition. It might have been in the ground for a while. I was going to say the 1 looks funny, but considering all the chiseling around the numerals I think it's OK. It looks like a lot of crud was scraped and rubbed off to make it look as good as it is. Tramp art in a way. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
