Too much of a stretch to work for the joke.
I doubt that this coin would have toned so evenly a golden color. But anything is possible I guess. Some people like toning, because it can...
Looks like the mint mark has just worn away. It's prob. 35% silver is my guess. I don't think it is counterfeit (which would be worth more).
What I don't get about the Lincoln/ Kennedy counterstamp is that the years have no significance. Why aren't they on 1963/1965 Lincolns? The two...
Slight misaligned die strike. (The off center at 12 and 6 o'clock). The surface damage could be acid, coin is not worth much 1-3 cents.
I thought I read that it cost .38 cents to make a dollar coin, but then i saw what looked to be current information. As the cost of the dollar...
OK too bad. Sometimes they fill those things with fresh ones and are in order.
The outer layer on silver looking clad coins are 75% copper and 25% nickel. I didn't know they could tone gold. A photo would be exciting to see.

Yes the last 2 1968's I got (Coin Star) were not 50% silver, so I was aware of that. Here's the link I was...
Make sure they designate that this was the first coin of this type discovered.
Online it says the mint state dimes of this date are $20. I thought the 50% was in 1968. So in 1967 they had 50% and 80%? Thanks for the information.
I don't think there is any middle ground between full bands/ not full bands. Almost full bands doesn't count. Hard to tell from the photos, not...
I didn't doubt the story. I think in a good auction you will get the $5,000 (not including commish). Because a genuine bill of this error type...
Do you have the patient zero coin slabbed?
