Spent 2 imperfect Ikes at a flea market dealer on this impulse buy: Imperfect?   I suppose if you had to spend them, you could have done worse. Nice Penny!  |

@jbuck: They were splotched with something, possibly the precursor to verdegris.

No worry. I was just messing with you.  Without seeing the dollars, I say you did well. |

I overbargained a hair on these that I received in a trade with coincollect1, but their beauty in hand makes up for most of the two imbalances, leaving me pleased:  |

svslav => hey, long-time, no hear ... how is the ol' coin-world treatin' ya lately? => yah, this coin is definitely "100% Kick-Arse"!! Especially the fact that Perseus still has the ol' killing-tool and Medusa's severed head in his hands!! (man, they just don't mint coins like this nowadays, know what I mean?) ...  Edited by stevex6

So story behind these: A while back I give this odd, well-to-do-for-homeless fellow that I know who hangs in a certain spot downtown, two Presidential dollars. He winds up keeping them for his collection rather than spending them. He knew that I collected coins, and I knew that he has a collection as well that he's stashed somewhere. Conversation lead to he said that he might have a Mercury dime I had wanted (need later satisfied by indian1 in a purchase deal, coin yet to be shipped). He searches his horde for it, comes up empty, but today he gives me the dateless Buffalo nickel at left and 6 wheat cents (not pictured). Later in the day, an associate of his was hanging out with him, says that he came accross an odd penny. Fellow tells associate that I know something about coins, and associate shows it to me. Turns out to be a Mint set token. He asks me what it's worth. I reply that I dont know, but it's interesting enough for me to give him a dollar for it. There be the coin at right.  |
