Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 1:48 pm You really wonder, just when do coins like this re-enter circulation. The 40's, or 80's, or 2000's? who really knows? True wear would have culled that long ago. Just like what sits in many collections today, coins with legitimate wear pulled in the 50's were AG/G's by then, this is 70 years more. Yea, put that one to copper rest! Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 6:54 pm It deserves better than tossed into a common box. I'd get that one in an aluminum ring and keep it as a pocket piece. It has to have some serious good luck. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/27/2018 7:00 pm Sometimes coin are stolen and put back into circulation. Sometimes a collector passes away and they get rid of the change in a coin star. That is probably what will happen to the ones we have collected. I'm the only one in the family that is really interested in coins. Report this Post to the Staff
