So close and yet so far away!
by pennypicker » Sun Jan 30, 2011 2:17 pm
Yesterday I was hand sorting string rolls and I came across a wheat reverse with a lot of wear so I figured possibly a pre-40. I flip the coin and I see a 193 and an S but the 4th digit was covered in crime. Was this my lucky day---was a 1 hiding under that grime? So I anxiously grabbed my toothpick to pluck off the grime. The feeling was similar to a lottery scratchoff ticket and I knew I was going to win something. One flick of the pick and off flies the clump of grime to unveil a......0.

I agree. I bet he could have made a haul off such a mystery coin on Ebay!

Wonderful... you've just created a new listing for every shyster who reads this thread. You know how simple it would be to place a blob of anything obliterating a single number? Are we now going to see a flood of these on ebay?
