Working in a restaurant that handles a lot of cash, and having all the cashiers know that I collect coins is always a good thing. Today, the cashier approached me with a dull looking piece of metal and asked if it was Canadian. I told her no, it was American, just old. I traded her a new quarter for it, and went about my business without really looking too closely. (I don't collect US stuff, so I only look to get stuff like this to pass on to other collectors). An hour or so later, on a smoke break, I dug it out.
Not the greatest thing in the world, but still something very unusual, especially in the smaller, somewhat rural town that I am in. Headed to the auction section to list it, now. Anyone interested??
