Title: Purple Penny?
Post by: robbiegal on July 29, 2016, 10:56:30 PM
picked up this little cutie today
few spots but the patina appears natural (ie not PVC damage)
thought someone special here might enjoy!

You have to know that if you take that coin within 100k of Dernancourt you have a real good chance of getting Mugged RG :angel::laugh2:
Very Nice :good:

Pretty purple. It's often hard to get the true colour in a photo. Nice ones Robbie.

1200k I think is far enough for me not to "pop" around to "view" this purple penny :angel:

tad spotty PP but happy to send to you
I think it's not quite up to standard
but I was delighted to see the colour  - its'much more purple in the hand

i look for purple pennies every time I go through a 1964 lot and just happened to be doing that yesterday

got some real beauties and have yet to take photos
