ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 05/10/2011 09:28 am I got a very curious coin in change while at the beach (I will upload a picture when I get home this weekend). It is a silver British sixpence dated 1898! I imagine it got caught up in a dime roll and the clerk at the store mistook it for a dime when he gave it to me. I would grade it G-8. This deserves dancing fruit! Report this Post to the Staff

Even worn flat, that's a good deal for ten cents. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
