Did not go home empty handed. Overpaid 2 dollars for this sterling thruppence. Was about the only thing i could afford. Would not allow me to look through junk buckets (at $43 times face) He also charged me for the flip.
So last trip there. 😉
Passes magnet test but not much else. 23.06g so a bit light. Condition way too good, details off. Ribbed edge.
But fun find, curious as to whether there is any silver in it.
In Tahoe City recently and they have a 15 foot bear and cub made out of pennies. And no, i did not pry any loose ones out.

Can"t complain about the finds but would appreciate them a little more spread out. Nickels were from same branch that had the huge silver haul a few weeks ago. So i will talk to my teller there about whats still in the vault.
Good week thanks to 2 boxes. Forward!

So found a few odds and ends.
Dryer dime exact size and thickness of 50 centavos. Ps found 2 50 centavos one in nickel rolls, one in dimes. Lost money on both.
Should make that up on my premium polycarbonite penny.
Weird copper colored nickel, regular for comparison. Plated?
