Any idea what this may be?

Then can I get his check? Jus' sayin'.

They went all out for him with a REAL silver dollar. These days many of those coins encased in Lucite are merely foil impressions of coins. That applies to many of the coin toilet seats too.

 

Foil impressions, kinda like what’s left over after the zinc core rots out of a Zincoln cent. But seriously can they make a foil coin look enough like a real coin to pass for high end comindation and award presentations? Or does it matter if they look like the actual coin or not as most people don’t know the difference. Probably the latter I would guess. (Will the chocolate leak out if the Lucite gets in the sun?)

 

The Devil made him do it, as we know only Lucitfer would encase a Peace dollar in Lucite.

 

And the Lucitafarians...must keep an eye on them, though the haze.

 

Lucite with dreadlocks????

 

Kurt speaks truth, Kimosabe.........

 

lucite by DuPont

 

I stand corrected. I tripled your profits and all I got was this polished Peace dollar in Lucite.

 

I live by DuPont

 

lets see if this works:
A Lucite flavored chocolate foil covered coin must be from......Lucitsey Pennsylvania? Small town south of Hersey.

 

If the coin was purchased to give away as an award, whoever bought it may have not been educated in numismatics and therefore unaware that this coin is complete garbage, having been mesmerized by the shine alone.

 

The "ooh, shiiiiiiiiiny" effect.

 

Shiny things will tend to get a guy from time to time. Take my wife she used to be plenty “shiny”
She sure got me!

 

Sorry I thought there was a little more science to it like high relief vs low
1. There is a spike on her crown in-between the 1st and second where as the low relief does not.
2. The length of the spike I believe at the base of the E in Liberty.
3. The thickness of the Date
4. On the reverse an extra spike at the base of the tree/perch
Also reverse the length of the spikes or distance between the lettering and tip of the spikes.
Anywho I have never seen suck a captivating coin it really has eye appeal in person!!
Not sure if I am convinced that it was polished but I am no prob. It has no tiny or hairline scratches visible and looks like the surface of other silver proofs I have & put under the microscope. Plus it doesn't make sense and actually the idea seems rediculous that someone would water Queen to someone like that especially when they are making them nearly a million dollars profit a year that's just up front not counting the side deals I'm sure they had kick back etc. I mean really in 1970 they had 900 Midas stores opened just in Phoenix Arizona 900 that's a lot of DM stores selling their product! And that's only a third there were two other companies Jiffy Lube and Big O Tire.. so to think that they would give the man who gave them that sort of break a polished within an inch of his $5 coin then have an encapsulated as a paperweight to sit on his desk for the whole world to see just doesn't fit that would be one hell of an insult. For God's sake this that I had royalty asking his advice and for his services. And I get the point about it doesn't belong to someone famous but then again aren't most famous people just puppets anyways the people who really control things and have the real money you generally never hear about!!
Thanks for all your feedback!! I have a few more coins to pick your brains about. I come across some interesting pieces from time to time. Who knew there was this much to numastatics. My hats off to the OG's of coin collecting
