Hey you cant beat those! i get that stuff alot that fell "sorry for me" (because i'm a kid?) but thats ok because i usually cherry pick them in the end and get a free coin

Neato..

It is things like this that can get a kid into a great lifelong hobby, the hobby of kings.

These coins are not priced in most guides in grades below VF. They are seldom found in grades lower than that because they seldom exist in grades lower than that. As such I guess you could call this piece "a condition rarity." I'd certainly be more comfortable owning this at a few dollars than a modern PR-70 DCam at several hundred dollars when one can by a certifited PR-69 for $15.

Very neat coin and a great conversation piece.

Naw, no matter the condition, those old copper cents are a "10" on the coolness scale.
