    And I thought that the 2021 issues were a stretch. It’s really in quite good shape considering being over a millennium since release. Some people have all the luck. So I guess off to our hosts then to CAC and finally offered at a high end auction house.
    After that I suspect you’ll probably retire and become a gentleman rancher. Leaving you time to amass some of the finest known examples of extremely rare coins. Congratulations buddy. 😁

  • Oh that’s not mine James, I just saw it posted on a metal detecting group with that headline and thought it was funny. Pretty serious crowd here though 🤔

    Those coins in the background look interesting. I like old, well-worn coins with original toning. It reminds me of my grandparents who kept a few old coins like that in small, porcelain or ornate wooden keepsake boxes.

    Glad you clarified. I thought you were going to refer to your grandparents as old, well-worn with original toning. I immediately ran to the full length mirror only to discover that I checked everything in those boxes but also several more that shocked me , including a details grade. 😂😂😂
    Was relieved to finish your post and find out what you were really saying. 😁

    LOL! My grandparents were old gems with nice 'patinas,' and lovely hearts.

    Coins, like music, can bring back fond memories for me.
