So I’m going through another jar of change. This one I know came from my Grandpa’s place because his writing is all over the box that holds this group. I slap it down under the little USB scope because my eyes are going so I scope each just in case, and see the obverse. Plain old 77-D like all the other dead coppers I’m rolling today, . Normally I’d toss it along but this time I flipped it over. wow!!!! Haven't had an eye full like that since college.
It was upside down at first so it took me a while to figure what I was seeing other that a love token. Then I saw the mountain scene with gold in-lay. Gramps initials were A J Z and most people called him A.J. He was a geological surveyor and a mining consultant here in Arizona for 50+ years. Still just blows me away it was just lost in a jar of change for 15 year at least.
