smokers check your old tins

[Steveqld]

Not quite a cigarette tin but hopefully a Pascall lolly tin from the 50's will qualify.  I know this one is genuine because I got it from the late Mother in Law's house when she passed away last year.

Nothing significant in it but I got about a kilo of old copper and .5 Kg of silver (pre and post).

One coin, a 1960, penny in a/Unc displayed some beautiful toning as well as one of the dangers of coins not being stored correctly (it was untouched in the tin for 50 years).  The picture captures about 70% of the toning.

PPH please don't look if you are easily distressed.

Not a very good photo of PPH though.

I know *I'm* distressed. Wish I hadn't looked now... so sad. :cray:

[Steveqld]

OK, doesn't make up for the distress but this was in the same tin and shows no verdigris.  Not Unc but not far off.

I suspect it is more from the coins surrounding them than anything else.  Pity this one isn't toned.

Am I forgiven???

looks unc to me
and noice

Am I forgiven???

Yup. Now stick it in your shoe until it tones nicely.

I wonder if somebody is sitting at home gloating at the fact that they now have a 1930 penny that only cost $11,600.
WOOOHOOO
But will they post under the thread,, "Have you been an Ebay winner today??"
