I have been posting some expensive items here for you grade consideration. Let's try something that is a bit more "down to earth." This piece has great sentimental value for me because it was the last coin my father bought for me. He liked to go to country auctions that were held in neighboring town. They had a flea market on the auction grounds, and there was a coin dealer. I don't think he had done very well because he said it was going to be his last show there. I spotted this piece, and my father insisted on buying it for me. It was back in 1982, and the price was $10.   Edited by billjones

A great story and a great piece of early Copper! I'll say EAC 35 sharpness net 30 due to what appears to be either light corrosion in places or possibly a lacquer job at some point. Outstanding color & good eye appeal. She's beautiful.

I'd give it an MS-70 for memorial value.

It certainly has appreciated over the years, I estimate your current value at priceless. Oh, and EF40 for the grade... |
