Carnival's back in town...

[TheMastermind]

Bought a couple of funnel cakes for my kids on the way out from my town's annual fair/carnival over Independence Day weekend, and received a sweet surprise in my change.

As my hands were full with plates of that sweet fried dough, I had my girlfriend take and slide the change into my pocket and then we headed home.

When I checked the change, man, was I surprised:







1862 "Fatty" IHC.

The one exception where a guy looks forward to seeing a fat lady.

Really nice. Even has full LIBERTY on the headband - looks like at least VF if not XF condition. Once in a lifetime pocket change find in that condition.

Hey, yeah. Nice. Ah blind hog finds an acorn every now and then.

Where is this carnival you speak of...? I think I’d be rushing back. Nice find!

A full LIBERTY fatty in change? that’s ridiculous. Great find.

What do you bet her change drawer is full of oldies?
Some kid probably grabbed some of grandpas collection to buy donuts.
