Popular Post LINCOLNMAN Posted April 1 Popular Post Share Posted April 1 My great-uncle, JB Tipton, passed last month and left me this coin as part of his estate assets. The estate inventory lists this asset with a value of $3.3m. I'm a little dubious because his executor, my second cousin Ziggy, has a bit of a sordid reputation in the family. And, he seems to have inherited all the cash. I dipped in my sister Rachel's fingernail polish remover. It's much improved as you can see. My friend Kenny suggested I do some basic research on the internet or maybe get a book or something before bothering you nice folks, but I'm like "dude, that's like HOMEWORK". Any help you can give me is appreciated, albeit undeserved. GoldFinger1969, Quintus Arrius, Hoghead515 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Just Bob Posted April 1 Popular Post Share Posted April 1 How much are you asking for it? I have a connection in Pakistan that will transfer the money directly to your account. All he needs is your banking information and social security number. LINCOLNMAN, Hoghead515 and GoldFinger1969 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) RE: "Help! Is this Coin Worth a Lot?" Nope. It's a very poor quality fake. (The rare ones are dated 1805 and come in hand painted colors.) On further consideration, it's not worth an alley, or an easement, or even a temporary right-of-way.... Edited April 2 by RWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoghead515 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) Definately a fake and a bad fake at that. If its silver then its just worth the value of the silver in it. Nevermind. It went over my head this was a joke. Edited April 1 by Hoghead515 Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moxie15 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 is it worth much? Well, I have a half dozen chicken runs and goat run that are thawing out, and that coin is worth everything you can dig out of them. LINCOLNMAN and Hoghead515 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, with three channels, there wasn't much else..... I remember back when we used to only get 3 channels. Sometimes 4 if the weather was right. We had a handfull of antennas in my young days before Primestar satelite came around. I remember having to turn those things almost every other day to try and pick up channels. Sometimes in these hills we would only pick up 1 channel, (channel 3) but, most the time you could pick up channels 8, and 13 also. I remember we bought a booster for it one time and was very excited. With the booster we could get channel 11 and 27 also. Then lightening hit it a few days later and fried it. Back to 1 to 3 channels again. It took 3 of us to tune antenna in. 1 to turn it. One to watch when the picture comes in the best and one to relay messages back and forth.

LINCOLNMAN Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Three network channels and one local. Then PBS came along. Now my wife and I have seemingly hundreds with cable and Roku and on and on. If there aren't any sports of interest happening, I struggle to find anything to watch after the news. A blessing really.
