I call this one "Raccoon eyes." In hand, it looks just like Jefferson is wearing one of those Lone Ranger masks. Very strange toning indeed......
There. Now it's 1863. Looks like 10 years of wear to me.
Darn. I knew it was 1861-1865. I misread the date on the coin. Oh, well. I'll just think something else up.
The 1863 was a tumultuous year; a year of uncertainty. The Civil war raging, untold numbers of brave young men went off to battle. This is but one...
rust Good point, jetshack. I assumed that the word "rust" was used in the layman's terms; that is, that it was iron oxide. You're right, though...

The coin appears to be authentic to me. I see no evidence of it being counterfeit. The green is just copper oxidizing. Do some homework before...
This entire thread is highly inappropriate, and should be removed before the Secret Service asks you to do so.
It's funny you should mention this. I just picked up a 1925 Lexington-Concord commem this past weekend that's in F-12. I think a lot of the...
Looks like a gem MS-65 from here
I guess it depends where you live. That price seems kind of high to me. There is a guy at the shows I go to who sells these BU quarters, and and...
Whether it's AU or MS doesn't much matter when it comes to the question of purchasing it for $15. It's a good buy.
It's not just you... The FS-022 variety is doubling of "MONTICELLO" and "FIVE CENTS." It is a very profound doubling, and not really...
