The only other thing I can think of is that it's been cleaned/polished (somehow).
Hmm, everybody's way off. Is it foil-wrapped chocolate? :confused: Seriously, if it's PL, it's not PF and it certainly isn't XF40, so I'll...
Very interesting coins, thanks for posting. My four grandparents emigrated from Galicia (Western Ukraine). I have quite a few Polish coins and...
Beautiful photos. I don't collect proofs so this is just a stab until the experts come along. PF62?
2 x 1 pixels. Very hard to judge luster. Jk, I have a 13" MacBook, 1280 x 900.
If you'd rather insult me than have a discussion, suit yourself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm not arguing with you, just asking...
I'm late to the game again. That's a purdy Lincoln.
I wasn't referring to your dad—except to thank him—but to your vague comment that "everything these guys did will soon be forgotten" as "people...
Not at all and I don't mean to pick an argument with anyone. You have a fascinating piece of memorabilia! It would be very interesting to see one...

While waiting for Krypto to return, check out this Morgan in Heritage's upcoming March auction. It's a glorious coin; wish I had an extra 5 large...
There is also something wrong with the R. Look at its main stem, the front vertical part. It's a good bit wider than the B's stem. In addition,...
I was thinking the same thing. But there is definitely something wrong with the E, because the bottom bar, as well as being too short, is clearly...
After correcting the cropping of the images, I've placed crosshairs over the obverse and reverse to find their centers. I've inverted and flipped...
Beg your pardon Doug but I don't think that's the plug. The ear is not in the center of the obv. but the surface disruption you circled on the...
I just looked at the obv. again with rested eyes. Those are clearly planchet striations, right?
