Found this while sorting today. I wish it was in better condition. Still a pretty cool find.

Not a numi or error collector myself, but pretty cool. Congrats!

My best is about a 20% off. Yours is close to a 30%.....Nice work sir!

I know you'd like the condition to be better...BUT.....I think that its cool that the coin changed hands a few times.

BULLY!

Don't you think its pretty amazing it's so worn?

You'd think someone would notice it and stash it away, oh say before 1990. How can something like that be so well circulated?

Yea, I was curious about that myself. I instantly noticed it when I saw the coin. I don't know how it stayed in circulation all this time.

Fantastic!

And I agree the idea that this guy circulated awhile makes it special.
