Spectacular find Leonard! :hello2:

Thanks for sharing!
 
sold --why can't I find stuff like that in my thrift stores ?
 
oh my oh my oh my. That is absolutely incredible!

Yeah, well I found a silver American Eagle. So there. :wink:

But seriously, I am jealous. It is in such incredible shape that I hope it is real (no modern ring aound the edge that would indicate casting? These would have been struck, not casted). I have found poor fakes at thrift stores before, but if it is argent (silver) then it is a Precious Metal find nonetheless.

Which thrift store was it? One of the big ones?
 
All three coins appear to be reproductions, unfortunately. :-\
