arby96 Pillar of the Community United States 2111 Posts	Posted 05/31/2022 1:10 pm While coin roll hunting Lincoln Cents, I found this 1943 Steel Cent that appeared to be the 1943 Bronze Cent. I don't know about you and how you might have felt for the first few seconds. I thought for a second I hit the jackpot, until a magnet sucked up to it. I didn't put the scratch marks on the coin. Who ever had it before must have. That isn't a smart way to check what could have been a very exensive coin. Oh Well it was fun for a second. UGH! The highs and lows of CRH. LOL "LOVE THE HUNT!"

I assume its just another one of "those things," and have not been disappointed yet :( How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Come on man! "LOVE THE HUNT!" Report this Post to the Staff
