So my local CC had an auction last nite, there was only one piece that got my blood flowing...
An 1893 Colombian Exhibition elongated cent, minimum bid $7
Being the “Holy Grail” of squished pennies, I was all in on this one.....
So I grabbed my loupe, gave it a looksy...... the IHP’s date was 1907!
So I called out as being a fantasy piece, the auctioneer advertised it as such....
The guy who consigned it ate it.
Glad I checked or I woulda been pissed.
