I sold an ASE at a flea market last year. The buyer walked up to my table, looked at the coin, whipped out a test kit, scraped the edge of the...
Actually, people find these quite often. Here's an older thread for reference: http://www.cointalk.com/t187395/ And of course, "plated" quarters...
A little more than melt on the 'Bay. I didn't realize how many UGLY Kennedy toners there were out there until I did a quick search. The OP's coin...
