come on show your Granny Bait coins.
I know you all have some of these hidden away like some nasty dark secret
I'll start it off

This one pretty much sums up the term Grannybait .

I seem to have sub-consciously removed that issue from my memorybank.

One of the most enjoyable times in grading a coin is to see the depth and definition in the emu which is completely lost in a sprayed on paint job.

Is that a REAL coin???
surely NOT!!

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but well I could have had a couple too many that night

This is the worst example of Grannybait that I have.


This is one of the better offerings , some of these are quite nice

Heh, I got suckered by this:



Worst part is I double-ordered it! Best possible outcome is the silver price might eventually catch up with issue price, if I live that long.

At the moment the spot price makes this a $195.30 coin.
Ah Well Mate as they say in the Star Wars movies "Live long and prosper"
