There is going to be an auction near me soon and they list a few gold coins which I will not be able to afford. They also list "a lot of mercury...
I just cracked a roll and the first thing that caught my eye was an IHC. 1901. Not in the best shape. I know you shouldn't clean coins, but I...

Did you mean "Castigating a cadaverous equine?" (Sorry, couldn't resist) :) Edit: Ooops, sorry. I just realized you aren't the right person....
It looks like they sent you back the wrong coin. Perhaps they had more than 1 wam to grade and somehow got them mixed up? Maybe start going to...
But it made no sense for the government to make coins that way, if the silver value of 1 dollar in nickels was worth more than 1 dollar in dimes....
