I paid less than melt for this coin. It is defiantly junk sliver. I am guessing 1830 since that was the year most were minted and I can make out the "0". My question, is this just ordinary buried in the dirt for a hundred years corrosion, or ship wreck effect? Coin is bent and looks like some tried to clean it up a bit. Isn't there a thread somewhere for worn out coins? This would be a candidate.
Yikes! and here I was thinking about sending it in for conservation.:smile LOL Nope, I gonna spend it when I get to Bolivia.
