I got the Email on that from the Auction site the other day.
would be nice to pull on of those bad boys up...
As one of the first prototype stamping's of an American coin, I'd say he got a bargain. And it's a pretty clean looking coin. You can hold history in your hand only for so long. The longer you hold it, the more money it's worth. Inflation doesn't work in this case. This example is historical coinage "art". The guys a smart cookie. He made a wise investment. If you did dig a toasted one of these, it'd be worth a small fortune.

Uh.... you actually keep those? I roll em up and give them to the bank. If they ever call me about it I'll refer them to the Treasury Department, or Congress. They'll have a great deal of fun with that.

looks like you got about 3 1/2 cents there total Joe ...
I didn't dig those, just dicking around, but I normally have a pouch full of them after each of my hunts, lol!

Actually if Joe takes the S Corp rules and uses the expense to dig that 3 & 1/2 cents, he can deduct about $45.00 from real income as a search expense. Let me get the calculator..... That's a 1,285:1 net loss to find those four toasted pennies. Which means that each of those dug up toasted pennies is worth $12.85 in negative net income, depending on circumstances. And it may be higher. Of course this is a hobby and all for fun!!! But those mid range tones are a killer to the profit line. Sometimes your up, sometimes your down. What the hell, Goldman Sachs does it all the time with our free money from the FED. So keep on digging fellas. But get a good accountant. And the leverage between silver and gold and ZINCOLNS will be through the roof by JUNE 2015.

Does biodegradable money help the economy?
