Soon to be off to PCGS for a Genuine Holder.

But, it's nice to hold it in hand for awhile...

Anyone recognize the 'countermark' ???

Looks like the tab from a mini soda can

Could be from a primitive metal Lego too...

He got it from his grandfathers, grandfather, what more provenance could you want.

And he lived next door to the mint...WOW

Hmmm... Two balls contained in one package. Must be David Rittenhouse's urologist.

Possibly the wreath you have and the chain on Craig Hamlin's website may have been from the same collection. In which case you should buy the chain cent
