(yes, a mag sticks like crazy to it....)

LOL they (1943's) are coming out the woodwork

cool find though, but only worth what someone will pay.

I'd say worth a postage stamp to mail it to me
Kidding of course

Thanks! It was really a shock to find it, these bags of coins were her grandfathers.

Since a copper one is worth $100K and a bronze one is worth $1million+, its a heart jumper!

If nothing else, its an interesting conversation opener, cant wait to use it in a group!
