OK, so it's not a coin - but it's small and round, it's CAC approved, and I bought it from RickO! He decided to sell me his vintage marble collection, probably just to rid his holdings of color. What a blast we had looking through his collection this past March.
This marble is "CAC approved" because it was produced by the Christensen Agate Company in the years 1925-1929, a depression-era outfit that is affectionately called CAC by marble collectors. This marble was named the "World's Best Guinea" by the company after the flock of Guinea Hens they had running around the property. It is one of the holy grail items of American machine-made marbles.
What an awesome thread .... and amazing coins. @rhedden and thanks for showing that little beauty Ron.... I will add a picture when the mail between my phone and the internet wakes up.... sent ten minutes ago, still not here. Cheers, RickO
@crazyhounddog.... You have some really nice blast white coins, but that 1942 WLH is incredible.... Super beautiful coin and a very special year. Cheers, RickO

I am new 'round these parts so can I safely assume a 'Ricko Coin' is blast white?
Yes not a fan of toners and on that point we agree. I also tend to collect blast white examples with the hope of capturing it as close to how it looked when minted as possible... it’s actually not that easy across a whole date set of Liberty dollars, Morgan or Peace. All the best and welcome

I don't know how this didn't get cameo, maybe reverse just didn't have enough to push it up.
