It's just Sharpening, right?

Yes! It never happens anymore. Where that thing has been? I thought it is cool!

Hard to come up with finds like that any more. Unless some kid steals his dads stash for candy.

Yup it has happened!
Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.

Well, we could fill this thread up with old coins, I think. Perhaps a coin thread?
I wanted to share that because of how much wear it has. I cannot see a date? I have another few in a tin of old coins. Might dig it out to see where the date even was?
Still....So much detail is still there. Pure patina. Shows it's age. Love this thing!
Hell! It may be worth something?

I have a few pounds of old silver coins like this one, mostly Walking Liberty half-dollars but plenty of quarters, too. My dad saved ‘em up while stationed in Honolulu, HI working on a buoy tender for the US Coast Guard during WWII.
There are only a few coins that are severely worn but all in all nothing so much collectible for value as the nostalgia.
