golden halves

[packerbacker]

Picked up a box yesterday and got quite a variety. Scored 8 40%ers, 1 of the 1964's, a 2007 NIFC, a 2002 proof and 4 nicely gold plated. I know they aren't worth anything but they are the best looking gold plated I've seen so far. They shine much more than they appear in the pic.

Very cool. I wouldn't say that they aren't worth anything. I'd buy them just to give to my kids for their collections. So surely someone else will pay a "small" premium to get them too.

Heck, I already gave them away. I'd have sent them to you had I known. How many kids you got?

Two. Thanks for the thought though.

I think that was my 2007 from dumping a uncirculated 2007 set a week ago(got 2 of them for face value from a friend). What city are you in here in nor cal? I'm in Daly City. Post a pic, I might recognize it. I think it had a small nick on the bottom of the obverse.

I'll check out the 2007. I'm in the Red Bluff area. I'm sure my boxes get packed in Sacramento or Frisco. The coin could have come from anywhere but I'll look for the nick.
