Based off the pictures I voted genuine. And I agree with RLM - the pictures do not really give me a feel for the coin.
Hmmm - I have a few, but I do not remember dates being on them. And yes I have held onto them for years. :)
Why risk it? If it does not grade then how much are you out? Then are you going to get one that would grade? If the coin has been dipped then...
