When cookies were money...or...is this a ginger snap?

Possibly a mint error where they skipped the creamy filling.

Cookie or coin ?

    I think you get 2 and a tube of creme filling! I wish they enlarged the date area because I can't tell. But a Good, I don't think it comes even close to an G1.

    << <i>The obverse grades Good and the reverse grades Fair. >>



    I won't for a minute pretend that I know how to grade these, but I think he might be a bit optimistic in his assessment.

    Looks like a " Cookie Monster ". Both pictures are of the same side. If you put your cursor over the picture it says " aaaaaaahhhhh ". Could be just as well to say it was a piece of clay.
  • I'd give at least the $168 just to have a chronology of where that coin has been and who had it during that time.

    Makes me hungry just looking at it, please pass the ginger snaps.

  • I'm suprised the seller didn't call it MS63 with a weak strike.

    Aw Russ, don't get coy with us.

    It is OBVIOUSLY a Sheldon 13a (sub 2, var 1) and you KNOW it.

    This is the coin that inspired Breen's, "Hey, kid, wanna cookie?"

    Using a 5x loupe, it is a ginger snap IMO.

    It looks like both of the images are of the reverse.....but then again it may be a cookie.
