Come on over and have a Seat!

Picked up 2 more boxes this morning expecting some decent numbers since they were from the same batch that produced 20 plus keepers last Friday. Was not disappointed as the first roll produced a 1960 Franklin and the third roll I see a silver with very worn edge and think nice another Barber. I pluck it from the stack and see the back first and thought my guess was correct until I flipped it over. Centennial Seated Liberty! It bent a bit and very worn, bit I'll take it. Also scored a Booker T. Washington in great shape. Both are firsts for me. 2 box totals were 17-40%ers, 5-64, 1 Franklin and the other 2. TFL

Wow! Great score on the Seated and Booker T. The only Seated I ever found in a roll was counterfeit.

That's absolutely stunning, great find! I hope someday I'm lucky enough to find a half that old.

 

[Coins4Cheese]

Wow, a seated! And the best part is that you only paid 50 cents for it.

Any ideas on how to flatten out the crimp in this coin without doing more damage?

You could try a rubber mallet with the coin sitting on something non-abrasive like a few t-shirts stacked on top of each other on the floor. That may work but I'd just leave it the way it is.

Put between 2 pieces of 2x4 and put it in a vise. It does not damage the coin and leaves nice reverse images in the wood
