do you have a story to go with the coin?

<< do you have a story to go with the coin? >>

I was first offered this about 5 years ago from a dealer I seldom do buisness with. At that time I did not have the cash and had to pass.

The collector that purchased this back then needed to sell do to economic times. The dealer offered it to me and I pulled the trigger.

The lesson I learned from this is, Never completely burn a bridge with a numismatic connection, even when you have valid reasons to do so.

No, You are thinking of the hard plastic case, which there is one of. This is a "flat pack" and one known to my knowledge.
That makes two GSA 93cc's known.

As I scrolled down and saw the "1893" I was half expecting an "S"

............ but the "CC" will do just fine!

Amazing that it was considered a cull at the time.

Great coin and congrats on your purchase. I find it amazing that this coin was sitting in a bag in some vault up till the 70s. Wow

I am still amazed this piece was offered to me twice in a five year period. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.
