Help! Is this Coin Worth a Lot? 0

[LINCOLNMAN]

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.

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.

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....

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.

Biggest fraud since Cosmo Kramer ate that hot dog at the Bijou that was there from the Silent Era.

If you were an old geezer like me the name JB Tipton would have tipped you off. John Baresford Tipton was the benefactor in a show popular in the 50's called The Millionaire.

My late brother and I always watched that show. Of course, with three channels, there wasn't much else.....

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.

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.

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.
