There is something going on there. It looks like a monster lamination. But wait for some expert opinions. Planchet flaw, struck through, PMD. I...
Even if it's only worth a dime or whatever, it's still a keeper. It's easy to buy coins. But it's exciting and challenging to find them in the...
It will still stick to a magnet. I don't think that test is valid here.
The Panama dime can be spent in any coin/ vending machine/ parking meter as a dime. They are 1:1 with US money and the coins are the same size and...

The obverse is really decent condition under the vise job. What happened to the reverse? Wheaties are usually worth a minimum of 3 cents.

I never get an alert for threads I am watching.
The first one I would guess is not lustrous, and cleaning has stripped the luster away. XF-Details. The second one VF-30.
I like the early ones with the nickel alloy. They are thicker too. I am around VF-35. The obv is nice but the rev takes it down a little....
It could be a 1977 on a 1976 silver planchet but, that would make it an S coin and a 1977 proof, it is neither. How could the silver planchet have...
The 34 often has a weak strike/old die. But I believe what the other posters are saying is that the scratches have been taken out.
