They first started coming out with the Heads or Tails coins in the late 1940's....PAPPY

Default thank you

thanks pappy for the info .. when i pulled it out of the ground i was almost jumping up and down i thought i found something really old so i ran into the house to see what it was and the first thing i could see was her butt . i was like wait a min this cant be a U.S. issue coin . .. i was so worked up because i have done research in that area and P.T. Barnum had a show there in 1875 .. 4 acres of tents . needless to say im pretty much walking door to door asking if i can hunt there land .

Default Wow

It's HILARIOUS,, you censored her!!!! Have seen them before,, its been about 30 years ago tho.. Nice find. The biggest thrill is that it belonged to someone, lost and is now yours.
