Sort of my way of saying "Hi, guys, I still exist." I've been lurking plenty...
This one came to me at face value from a roll at the bank last summer. It was the end coin -- if you look closely, you can see the pattern of paper folds. I was pretty impressed with it, despite the fingerprints -- there are some pretty wild colors in there, and I just don't run into many truly vivid clad halves. The reverse is as intensely pigmented, but more of a uniform orange & plum scheme prevails there. I moved a nice gem 2003-D out of the slot to make way for this one. The silver coin in the neighboring slot is a wild toner (acquired from an unsuspecting dealer's junk box, no less) so this one goes much better alongside it.
Sometimes these unique cheapies are my favorites of all.
