DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/12/2010 10:58 pm Wow...that's an interesting relic. It's also an overdate--it looks to be 1808/7 Report this Post to the Staff
cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 10/12/2010 11:10 pm That engraving is really cool looking. I realize this kind of thing is generally regarded as post-mint damage, but in this circumstance, I really like it! Nobody writes in that kind of script anymore. Penmanship is just not something that is taught anymore. I regularly have to read statements written by high school students and what seems like the majority of the time, the penmanship is terrible. It's a shame. Report this Post to the Staff

I took this picture and posted right before I went to slept last night. WOW! Good picture! I had to take another look at the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 10/13/2010 4:13 pm Very nice! I tend to keep any thing I find like that and wish there was a separate grading category for such things as this and love tokens. Quote: Nobody writes in that kind of script anymore. Penmanship is just not something that is taught anymore. I must agree. Whoever did this carved it into a chunk of metal and it looks so much better than what I can do with paper and pen.
