1897 Farthing
Hi Everyone,
I do not do many blogs, but I really could not pass up this opportunity -
So, I come into work today & one of my co-workers leaves out on our shipping table this banged up coin - I'm like, "hey, what's this?" They say, "I found it in a reject coin tray at the credit union coin return machine"
Wow, 1897 Farthing - It is banged up, scratched, pocked & pitted - But very cool find - They gave it to me -
I could not be more appreciative
Just shows, keep your eyes open & keep checking & you will find things that you are looking for or people will & present them to you !!

Also, I do not know why, but my pics always come out at 90 degrees - wtfreak? - lol

That poor old coin must have quite a history. Wonder where it's been? That's a nice find.

From all of the environmental damage it must have been buried for safe keeping at some time in the past. Maybe it was part of a hoard someone stashed? You just never know.

Only if the coin could tell you where it has been through its history.

Very Cool! That sure doesn't happen everyday! I like the way it looks...all banged up! Can you imagine all the people who handled it and all the places it's been!
