This dollar is missing about two cents worth of metal.
Show me something worth at least 2 cents. No sticker necessary.

    I found a clipped Ike in roll once, but I don't have a picture of it. Wasn't that dramatic.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    This was purchased across the counter, recently. I tried to buy it for less than a dollar, but the seller wasn't liking my reasoning.

    Well between you and I (and forgive this thread then) , I was going to submit it and price it high. But in light of that, it's best to leave a little meat on the bone for my numismatic brethren.

    You know, with a rasp file and a bit of time you could make that look almost normal.

    No worries. I was only a casual bidder, which is why I'm the underbidder.



    Hope it goes to the moon for you. It's a neat piece.



    PS- I've got that other two cents you asked for. image



    (It too seems to be lacking a little bit of the original metal, though.)

    That reminds me of those cents you sold me. I soaked them in vegetable oil for years, to no avail.

    Thanks a lot.

    Like I told you before, I didn't charge you more for the colorful green goo.

    Are you sure it's not the size of a trime?
