    That gets the official "crack pipe" award from me.

    Not the seller, of course, but whoever made that.

    the one thing missing is a full return priviledge that if the seller had any class or ethics or fairness at all he would have!

    the photos also are not too good

    i would really love to know more aboujt this or see this scoop in person!!!!!!!!!

    that was a great post num!!!!! for me if this coin in this scoop is a genuine original coin and this scoop was made at or before the turn of the century to me this item is worth lots more than what it sold for

    Was the mint making stuff like that even in 1803?? What's next, a bust wristwatch?? Moneyclip??

    I also like coin glass.Coin impressions on mugs,service platters,ladles and the likes.The impressions of the coins are in relief like coins.
