On a more theoretical level, I would think that if the metal is harder or more dense where the date was stamped on it, there must be some way...
I asked my wife and the packaging is black, not blue. I'm a little color-blind with dark colors and sometimes navy and black look the same to me....
I don't know of any coin shops there, but it might be a good idea to watch your back when you walk out of one.
I've seen it for $36, but this seemed pretty good. The $1 coin was below melt value so that was impossible to resist.

That would be a pretty important fact to leave out when describing coins.
I would have to say it probably isn't worth it monetarily. You could probably earn more money doing just about anything else and just buy the...
I suspect that rhodium coins might be easier to buy than to sell. I doubt there are many collectors.
The best actual offer prices I can find are about $50 in EF, $60 in AU and $70 in MS60, so I would say that $35 is a good price for the coin you...
