Too late now. Was just saying to my wife that I almost feel like swallowing it.   Edited by Valecrucis

Trust me bro if you swallowed it, you wouldn't be the first. Remember that pockets were not really in use at that time and purse was a target for thieves. The best place was to keep it in your mouth or "wedge" it somewhere's else.

Hey V. C. Great Coin! I mean it. I wish all, no some, no, even a few of mine were that good (but then I might become paranoid). Very green with envy  |

Swallow it? Gastric juices may clean the coin on the way through, but then WHAT?  |

Thanks TC...I don't mean to make you or anyone jealous...I think I got a pretty good deal on it, for such a fine coin. I would love to have one of those EF examples that some very wealthy collectors fill their collections with. Now that IS a source of envy!! Sel...I would imagine that much of the silver would be lost during its passage through all at hydrochloride acid, which would be a shame. Probably wouldn't do me any harm though. Silver can be very good for you. Best to avoid the copper ones though. Too many would lead to copper poisoning. Why am I talking about eating them? It's weird though, some of the really large and beautiful coins do seem edible in some way. Maybe I am lacking certain minerals, lol. Edited by Valecrucis

Whoa! Sweet, that's a very nice example of the type. Seeing as I'm broke I think I'll stick to my fourree with the test cuts! Can't beat the price on that!
