    Interesting coin, not for me but interesting. I do have a question though, why was the mushroom invited to all the parties, because he was a fungi (fun guy) HaHa.

    I've been carrying a Sesquicentennial around as a pocket piece for years, I bought it for melt as it had very deep abrasions on both faces. I don't have a recent photo but the scratches are now gone, along with most of the legends.

    The low relief of the coin contributes to a very unsatisfactory look when heavily worn.
    All glory is fleeting.
