The end of the month is often a good time to check the route.
Nice mini scoop. 87 cents. 3 quarters, a dime. One shot at a W, and no.
I believe they made business strikes (NIFC) and proofs and silver proofs. The proofs are usually identifiable even when impaired. More luster,...

Too bad about the creases as it is a special serial.
I can't disagree with the cleaning as they probably have better techniques than I do to detect such things, however, since they botched the label...

If the numbers don't match on both serial numbers, then you have something. And the farther they are apart the better. Mismatched serial numbers....
Made $1 over my gas. Wasting my time out there. [ATTACH]
Lets see some photos of anything silver, and large scoops. A quarter on the grill and a penny on the shelf. I've had worse.
Dimes are very small and the slightest shift in the position when striking will cause a misaligned die strike. Unless it is very large, noticeable...
