    SEEK and YE MIGHT FIND

    By BEAM,

    I'M NOT MUCH OF A NUMISMATIC, IM MORE OF A PHILATELIC AT HEART REALLY, BUT EVERY KIDS DREAM IS TO COME ACROSS A 1909 S VDB, WELL I'LL BE DAMNED IF ONE DIDN'T COME MY WAY. I SOLD IT THE NEXT DAY TO LIDO COIN SHOP. I DON'T BUY THINGS SUCH AS COINS OR STAMPS, I HAVE A GOOD EYE THOUGH. THIS ONE IS A VERY RARE FIND, SIMILAR TO THE ROMAN COIN I FOUND IN A BUCKET OF NUTS, SCREWS, AND BOLTS SETTING UP A YARD SALE. OF COURSE WHEN I FIND SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT'S BY FEEL. COULD BE A COIN, MAYBE NOT. UNFORTUNATELY AS FAR AS GRADING GOES, BECAUSE OF THE METHODS NECESSARY TO MAKE "ANY" IDENTIFICATION, I'M AWARE OF THE DEPRECIATION CAUSED BY CHEMICALS, ETC,, ETC, SOAK IN OLIVE OIL WITH CORROSIVE CASES ETC. WELL, ON THIS ONE, IF I USED THAT METHOD, AROUND THE YEAR 4515AD WE MIGHT HAVE SOME LEGIBILITY. IT WAS SOLID THICK GREENVILLE, MAYBE A COIN, MAYBE NOT, ALSO FOUND LIKE THE ROMAN COIN, IN A MIXTURE OF NUT, BOLTS, AND WASHERS I THREW TOGHER DURING A CLEAN UP. A MONTH AND 1/2 LATER, THIS IS AS FAR AS I'M GOING TO TAKE IT. I SAY IT'S A 1943 D BRONZE COPPER. IT APPEARS TO LOOK LIKE A 1913, BUT AFTER HOURS OF STUDYING IT WITH VARIOUS LIGHTINGS, MAGNIFICATIONS, ANGLES, AND COMPARISONS WITH THE 1913 D, I CLA
    I'M NOT A NUMISMATIC, I JUST LOVE TO FIND RARE OBJECTS ?
