It appears as if nothing is immune from cheap counterfeits anymore. Of course, this could have been made 20 years ago as I have no way of telling! I can tell that its not chinese though. The workmanship is way too crappy!

I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



The name is LEE!

  • It has a "gauzy" look - guess the coin doctor was practicing?

    I had an instructor down in Norfolk bring in an Ike he bought in Afghanistan. Same sheet--a lightweight metal. Total wrong look, feel and sound to the coin. If I recall, it was also a 71-S. I think he paid a couple bucks for it.

    Give Blood (Red Bags) & Platelets (Yellow Bags)!
