I saw this today in a shops "bargain bin" and just couldn't resist. I love the dirt and the wear.
It's the "Small 8" variety i believe.

    Can't go wrong buying a 206 year old coin in the bargain bin. Nice score.

    Never saw one that worn before - perhaps a pocket piece someone had for many years?

    If so they had some dirt in those pockets! Like I said, I love the look and the wear and the history. If a coin could talk, this one has some stories for sure.

    I wonder how many transactions that coin has seen.

    I think she might be a large '8' .....tough call for me anyway.

    Very cool pickup.

    Looks like a small 8 O.109 to me.

    A coin like that in the bargain bin is a nice find.... Old silver, well used... no need for a slab, just enjoy it. Cheers, RickO
