    is now in this form.

    It could be polished but has no luster.
    It does have emulated flake scars, but

    I still think of it as coin silver and at 26 grams, most of it is there! ClovisAg.jpg

    With all of the bidiots on FleaBay, you could probably sell it as an extremely rare, early native Indian arrowhead to kill werewolves.

    I sincerely hope this wasn't a Silver Dollar.

    Good idea, Chris!
    I first thought of that when I first saw those bullion Ag bullet replicas.

    No, I did not make it, but as far as I know they were made from coin silver (90%), but I don't know the denomination, other that the weight. The Year and MM are missing.

    How? lost wax method of casting

    Why? replica of a stone tool

    Still cool; I just want to hang the guy who destroyed numismatic history by the thumbs, though. :)

    If you don't know the denomination then how do you know that at "26 grams most of it is there"?

    Very cool. I would rather own that than a worn common date silver dollar.

    My impression was that I was told that it was made from a melted Ag dollar, which, at the time, before I got into coins, sounded cool.

    Now, of course, I see it different except for this pocket piece that I bought for cheap because it was there and Ag.

    No date, so no PO1, bummer. SlickPeace.jpg

    Sure, why not? A worn silver dollar is worth melt, and this is worth melt. At least this is unique.

    Very cool but I think I could forgive the guy if it was otherwise uncollectible and damaged beyond it's silver value. I would think this would be worth more actually than melt value as to it's nice work.

    I would send it to PCGS . If they can do dimes on nails, why not this?

    Cents it is so worn out, should I try some of the silver-acid stuff (like Nic-A-Date) on it?

    That worn Peace buck did its economic duty to society. I salute it!

    Yeah, I'm probably overreacting. :)

    Forget sending the arrowhead to the nail certifiers (hee hee)!! I'd send that baby to SGS and it'd probably get MS68, maybe MS67 on a bad day. :p
