Yes, I agree, weighing of the coin is probably the first thing to do if there is a question as to the planchet used. The person must have some...
Woah, people. No need to take such strong sides on this. I think a competent jeweler and/or competent dealer would be helpful.
I concur.
If it is what it is and worth what you have researched, I would have a reputable dealer help me sell or auction the coin.
Great find, and I believe, keep whatever you find interesting. Look at it as paying .50 cents (tax free) for something you like, and if you do...
Looks like great fun while sitting in front of the TV or just relaxing.
Looks like a possible doubling or tripling of the "E." I am sure that could be accomplished Post-Mint, but I am sure a more clear picture would...
The diagram is great! Thank you! Does the "B" in "LIBERTY" show doubling?
Wow! you start off by hammering me and never let up. I am not sure if you had a bad day, however, let us dissect your bald and self-serving...
Maybe sell every 5 years to keep cash flow going.

What kind of Gold Eagles? If you were the only person going back, how many and what date? If others could do the same, how many and what date?
I'm interested too. Even if you did not have the coolest coins back then, I am sure some of them would be considered otherwise today.

Does the Zinc react with something else to oxidize like copper or other metals?
I would go back and get 1 or 2 (or as many as I could) 1927D or 1933 St. Gaudens $20.00 pieces. Probably the 1927D because you could get it 6...
If I know the exact price for a soda, I pay in change. If something is $5.00 or so, dollar coins (many cashiers think this is really cool -...
From the photos, the areas look raised, suggesting a break in the die. Also the ghost image on the obverse is interesting.
