    Only it's momma could love this one that came with a surprise Truview and was too cheap to warrant return postage and a trip to the Post Office.

    I give away inexpensive coins all the time but I draw the line with this loser.

    Much Uglier in Hand...I believe it's an uncirculated coin that has had a tough life. Check out the Rim Dings on the bottom.

    WHAT, you want to get rid of that RARE goiter variety?

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Interesting when contributors state that it "looks worse in hand". Obviously not Ebay sellers!

    The beard on that 1886 silver dollar looks like someone painted it on with sulfur to create that effect. Perhaps a tooth pick and some egg yoke (high in sulfur) was used to create this effect as a joke. Reminds me a little of a capped bust half dollar variety called the bearded goddess because of a major die break coming from Liberty's chin..
