    Thanks! I'd say it was dropped shortly after the owner got it as it's in mint condition. Lines in the shield, full Liberty and the detail is crisp.

    Congrats on a fantastic find! Coin looks to be in low grade AU condition. It's probably worth a solid $150 bucks on ebay, though a coin dealer would probably offer something around $100 taking into acct a dug specimen and his profit margin. Still a most excellent score. Congrats!

    Beautiful Seated, and the car...brings back memories. I bought new my 68 Dodge Charger, 440 ci engine, Red black vinyl roof, bumble bee stripe Mickey Thompson mags from Mr. Norm's dealership in Chicago. If you never heard of Mr. Norm do a google search he is a legend in funny car racing and his dealership sold only three models, Dart GTS, Dodge Coronet RT and Charger RT.
