Nice pull!!
Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?
Oh, it looks good on you though.

Great find! Persistence does pay dividends.

That is a beautiful dime!! Great find, indeed!!
As to it's grade ~~~ I would guess it wrong anyway, so I will let others do that.

Wow! You have heard of the catch and release haven't you. It is time to set it free! Make sure to put it back in the wild in North Carolina.

Thanks all!
I thought it was foreign at first and couldn't believe it when it was a seated.
Must have been thrown in the hopper after cleaning out grandpas drawers LOL!

Wow! That would be amazing in any condition, and it looks great! Obviously it hasn't been in circulation since 1853. Are you sure it's real?
Seriously, that's cool, I've never even found a Barber...
