Coin show finds #1

This is a video I recorded last year but never uploaded. I was a little embarrassed by it because the Lewis & Clark piece once had a loop and I didn't realize. That's why you should research a little before you buy. It was less than $15 and 111 years old so it wasn't a bad mistake, but one to learn from. Anyway if you'd like to see more of these coin show and ebay reviews please comment below.
