Did buy something. 1892 3 pence.

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. 😉

Found in the street outside high end LCS.

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.

I found a gorgeous 1968-D, DDO-002

Found today in a CWR. Nothing special about anything else in the roll. The only reason I even looked at it close is because it is so good looking. The details are crisp and the die doesn't show much sign of wear. Usually under the chin and at the bottom of the bust will have high wear marks.

Reference pics are from variety vista:
