There aint no such thing as ugly silver!
 
I can't seem to find an argument with that.
 
Museum quality piece, that one. ;D
 
It looks to me that it was in some kind of fire. Nice find tho. Any dime can look like a dime, this one has character. Drill a hole in it and put it on your keychain! Nice conversation piece.
 
Yep! That is pretty ugly, but it's yours and not still taking a dirt nap! :headbang:
 
you sure thats not a kidney stone you passed?
 
Hey...She's a beauty ;D Congrats on giving the ole girl a good home... :hello2:
 
WOW Id def give that a, FU condition.
I bet that one was in a fire.
 
Surely a campfire or trashpit victim. I found a couple of these in an old WWI camp. There was a fever epidemic in the camp and they burned the soldier's clothes money and all when they were sick.

plan to have it graded?

I'd love to see the ANACS grade... it say something like "fair 2 details// mangled and burnt (knowing them they'd probably actually say 'surface damage'"

Seriously, you could try making a ring out of it. Couldn't harm the ring any further. But you'd have to find someone with a very small finger to wear it.

If you want to do it, we could all pitch in 25 cents a piece for you to send it to a grading service. I'd love to see the look on the face of the grader when he opens that one.

I'll seond that :icon_biggrin:
 
I've pulled up some uglies out of the ground, but me tinks you got me beat with that one. Cool.
 
It's still silver. The melt value of it is $1.11. That's not too bad. :icon_thumleft:
 
Yup, thats a 16-D. Its all part of my master plan. I keep buying and ruining them so that my other one gets rarer. Muhahaha. :tongue3:

Nice find! :thumbsup:


Call me a Plumber - If you check in here, post your friends token finds with some pics over at "What Is It".
