Also got this strange coin shaped ring but not a coin, just a flat disk kinda with a number and words saying record and destroy....will add a pic when I get a chance. Report this Post to the Staff

ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 5:49 pm The "record and destroy" ring comes from an old set of automobile keys. The code on it (0416) was the code needed by a locksmith to reproduce the key for the car without actually having a key to copy. Richard Report this Post to the Staff

Tam Valued Member United States 200 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 6:16 pm Just please don't destroy that ring, it really is cool! Sorry, but the only reasonable way to appraise your cents for insurance purposes is to have them appraised. That's the best way, IMO. One way, if there are a few shops in your area, take them to the shops. However, you can grab a recent trends guide, calculator, and start going at it yourself coin by coin. Hassle, because if you haven't graded some of them, you will need to, and a collector, IMO, should know about grading anyway. Edited by Tam 05/04/2011 6:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
