Condition of entirely undamaged antique gewgaw. "Mint." To give you some frame of reference, Spanky, these things are good things --- things that we non-flippers cherish the way you would cherish a Beautiful old building on prime real estate.

Good for them. I am not kidding when I said it was covered in rats. I have never seen so many rats in my life. Less was pretty drunk so he had trouble focusing but once he did he jumped back about ten feet. I tried to count the ones just on the stairway but gave up at like seventy eight.
It took us a while to figure out that it was the Mint. A homeless guy showed us the Plaque. I know we are not supposed to encourage panhandling, but I gave the guy a fiver because I figured he was pretty much acting like a volunteer Docent.
I bought my first proof sets at that Mint. I also bought those bicentennial commerative sets there in 76. On the tour they would stamp a coin right there for you. I hope they bring the tour back.
