If I were a serious collector of pedigreed colonial coins...

I would be all over this one, plated and traceable back to 1875. Holy cow! If the FatMan Coolness Factor had not been banned, it would be a 12 on the 1-10 scale.

    I'm thinking it should get a 12 on FatHead Coolness factor.

    Being from Connecticut, perhaps I will buy it as a pocket piece.

    Wonders if RYK will be getting a 10% discount from CRO on his next purchase for the amusing infomercial he just posted above?

    10%? That would be disappointing! I usually get 25% off. imageimage

    I wonder if gecko is getting brownie points from keets for monitoring the posting of coins for sale. image

    Well done. I was also lacking more erudite pursuits at the moment and decided to parry back. image

    I think it would look great in my collection.

    Correction: It will look good in your collection. image

    From the listing:

    "...this is a pleasing example of a variety which is typically seen in low grade, usually dark, often corroded and almost always unattractive."

    My thoughts exactly and why I've never wanted one of these. I would be very tempted but have my cash tied up elsewhere at the time. I especially like the "scholar head" variety designation. --Jerry

    Chalk one up for Gecko for honesty image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
