Flea Market Find - Pilgrim

hyf88 · August 3, 2008 10:43AM

Went to a flea market today and saw this in a case of random costume jewelry and other trinkets. Asked the gentleman behind the case what he was asking for it and was told $15. Been looking for one of these for quite a while on eBay but always get outbid. Guess today was a lucky day. Looks XF+ to me, and uncleaned with some neat die cracks under magnification. Sorry for the huge pictures.

nice surfaces! the ship is "circ-cam" to my eyes!

I wouldn't call it CircCam, personally, but I like the color, nonetheless.

Fifteen bucks for a Pilgrim half? What are you tryin' to do, get a "You Suck" award, or somethin'?

DId they have any corn coins or turkey coins with that Pilgrim coins. Hell if so you could of made friends with the yips behind the damn tents and played some holdem with a shot of white lighting. Yeehaa.

I won't comment on grade, but I don't see the Mast flag in this picture. It may just be the angle of the photo. Is there a flag? I also note the thumb return and index finger, but this may also be the photo angle. Respectfully, John Curlis FLG

They're actually quite small on my monitor, 22" wide screen at 1680x1050px. I always have a problem when posting images though, I never know how big is too big.

Aside from that I'm actually hoping to visit a few flea markets soon, hopefully I can get a few deals.

It looks like a genuine Pilgrim to me. I think the mast flag is there but just doesn't show up well in the picture. The thumb/fingers look ok to me...

It's hard to do this stuff from pictures though.
