Duffy does it again! I spy on cloisonne plate old coins! Silver+ Very old copper. Ruined Silver Washington Quarter (i tested it myself). Looks like a 1910 s penny but the mintmark has some problem. 1863 Union Flag Dix Civil War Token. Ruined 1858 Flying Eagle Cent. 1868 Two cent piece. “Holy” 1875 scarce date indian cent. 2 1964 proof in orig plastic but cut. The plate is original, acquired at least 50 years ago, in great shape, and not the cheap mass produced junk from Asia. Old man Duffy used to work out at the Flatbush “Y”. He always yelled at the boyz for grabbing all the weights but was kind spirited and constantly joking and making everyone laugh. Until his final hospitalization and unfortunate demise in 1976, he was in that gym every single day. I was fortunate enough to be his buddy, no one really knew his birth name, but I found out it was Senan, meaning “old & wise”. His namesake was an ancient founder of monasteries. People complained that he never spent any coin he ever received. In any case, after he left us, his grandchildren found some of his stash in the attic and spent a good amount on candy and toys. The family was in an uproar! They consigned most of it to auctioneers. By the time I got to the collection there was about 10% left. I acquired and cared for remnants of this hoard for almost 50 years. Slowly I have been moving some of these unique items and people are very inspired and glad to be part of the history.
