Barber dime with tar all over it and then wore off the high spots. Nice Bust half dime. looks like someone scrubbed it up bit. I LOVE the Fugio...
I personally won't call a coin I own a mint error unless I can describe where in the minting process the error occurred. I had to study how coins...
The coin could be conserved but unless one is very experienced and has the proper equipment, the odds of ruining it are great. For me personally,...
