Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with the last 1 in the second coin. There is no way that is authentic, and it does not look like damage. When...
Yeah, the GSA was supposedly from "unpicked" coins left over in GSA vaults, but mysteriously were mostly CC's. :( Weren't there SL dollars in...
Depends on how much water you put it in. Distilled water acts by absorbing mineral ions, thereby removing them from the coin. I would throw it in...
Eh, at least it is showing its genuine, which is what I mainly value a slab for. I am guessing this is mass slabbed documentation of some "hoard"...
