Not at all. Good quality Lucite hangs in pretty good. A lawyer that used to work with me had one that went back 10 years earlier than this one, and it was pure white clear. It had a 1964 Mint Set encased at various angles.
I have a fossil in something that appears to be similar to that and it has turned. I wonder what the clear product I have is.
Fossilized Lucite is what ever stone matrix the fossil was taken from. So let’s call it Lucsandinite. @Bambam8778
Well I used to know a guy named Lou Sidious, so there's that. I think he was once in the Galactic Senate or something. I don't have a picture of Lou, but this is his brother Darth.
To answer your question...what you have is a common date circulated 1922 Peace Dollar that has been polished and encased in lucite. The coin itself is not a proof or anything else of any significant value. The cleaning/polishing and encasement has completely destroyed any numismatic value that it may have had. As far as a coin collector is concerned, the coin is worth its silver melt value once freed from the lucite. Now, that being said...it does have an interesting story. Perhaps to a family member of the person it was given to or to someone who worked with him or in that company it might have some additional value. Although the recipient was clearly an accomplished and successful man, he is not someone famous or otherwise well known among a large group of people. As a result, the fact that this was given to him does not create a large collector market. If he was someone extremely well know, that might be different (for example, if this had been given to Henry Ford or someone like that).
Dude, I've had about 15 facial hair changes since this avatar pic. I even had a phase where I looked exactly like Mark Hamill in the new Star Wars movie. Ask @green18. He saw me then. Same wild hair, same beard, no cloak though.
There you go with the spoilers again.....sheesh Kurt now I know it’s you in the movie not Mark. Thanks a lot now I just won’t go.
