I must have picked this up in Fishin' over a dam" way back in July. At the time I was not aware of what coins were. This did not have any tag on it with the typical "do not keep info", etc. I didn't recognize it for what it was and it went into my "collection" of trade items. I forgot all about it until today (now November) going through my collection I find what I readily recognize as a coin and not a trade item. Sorry for my mistake, I will put this coin into circulation immediately. In fact, I will bring it to New Hampshire tomorrow and place it in a cache up there. Chalk the long, lost waiting period up to newbie, but not a newbie anymore. Thanks.
