    I'm so glad that Miss Ruth Waldo had Excellent Deportment in High School!

    Has anyone tried to look her up and see what became of her?

    I had to go with the VDB cent in such high grade.

    Dockwalliper finding a '55 Doubled Die (even a Poor Man's variety) is pretty darn amazing, too. That really deserved to win.

    But it was a wild month of wildcards, apparently.

    As you can see in my picture there is a bit of doubling on the last 5. If you look on eBay for a poor mans Double Die you can pick one up for under $5. The "Real" 1955 DD will run you about $1000. It looks like this.....

    Those documents from the late 1800's were a great find.

    Congrats SilverEagles92!!
    There was some cool stuff here this month.
  • Congrats Silvereagles92!

    Like I said, so many good finds I couldn't even vote for my own. I voted for the docs since it is rare to find a cache of old documents in such good condition basically just laying around. Those old houses have usually been picked over by ever kid within 5 miles after this amount of time.
  • Yay! Thanks!

    Great finds everyone. This was my first noteworthy contribution to any of the polls, and I'm glad that you guys liked it!

    Thanks again!
