Who's Found a Smoking Abe?

Postby TheJonasCollegeFund » Fri Dec 17, 2010 12:36 am

In today's bag I found the Smoking Abe. No pics...sorry...spent an hour at Best Buy trying to find a suitable camera to record my finds...skunked! So..I know I just saw one recently...can someone please post that again here...thanks...it's so cool! Way better than the counterstamped states or liberty bell or kennedy. Thanks to whoever comes to my rescue...you'll be my hero!

This Ebay auction shows the smoking abe:

PS: Thats the only one on feebay, and completed auctions show none, so its not very common.

I've found one.

There's also a variety w/ a pipe instead.

I have a '64 but he's smoking a pipe. Has the same oval smoke rings though.

Mine is on a 1963 and the rings are the same. But the ciggy looks different. Eventually I'll put a pic up. I'm getting smarter everyday...or every other day!
