I would be at AU58 based upon photos. I also suspect @ddddd is correct, but unless old cleaning would not see what the TPG might to say details....
I do wonder though. One of the bases of NCLT coins nowadays is how they are made from pure silver. That at least gives you a base to work off of...
Looks like someone painted it. Please tell me they aren't leaving the mint like that. Bad enough "crystal eyes" on a coin, (wonder how they would...
I would not expect any gold. A jeweler of all people would know the value of gold and not mix any in with silver. Unless you wanted to hang onto...
The LIBERTY was recessed, and with heavier circulation the LIBERTY can still be clear but "weird" looking. I always called it "ghosting" when I...
Not Judaic. Looks more like something South Asian/SE Asian. Is it tin? That would point to Indonesia maybe. If it is tin, (light), I would search...

PF68 but its weird, being not full steps for a proof.
Possible. I have heard stories of some people stepping out of their car at a certain place every day and throw any pennies they got on the ground....
Any chance its part of a water runoff path? A friend in the 1970's found a bunch of dimes and cents where water rushed down to a spot at a school....
About word for word my opinion.
I always read the 2.5s never circulated really. The only demand for them was annual Christmas gifts. The $5s were the workhorses, as seen on...
I would be careful. The owner of CNG was actually on here and explained how a lot of this you see on auctions is dealer-buyers, where the dealers...
I guess I have never really wondered what my coins sound like. Myself, I would probably start with a bag of GB Large cents or bag of junk silver...
I am just curious, what are you basing "fewer ancient collectors" idea on? I think the collector base is changing, more on their own using...
I would view it as more of a function of CT taxes. They are as brutal as NYC taxes nowadays. I view the states in the NE have pushed to the edge...
