Once it's out of the packaging, it would be very difficult to prove it was an SMS coin.
Melt value. $1 Yes it's in nice condition. But they made tons of these and coins like this can be had for melt.
Sell it? It's not even worth 5 cents. Even if it is MS (which I can't tell from the photo, and doubt it) and even if the book price for an MS...
Is it a mint state coin? Uncirculated can mean a few things and it's not always mint state. It has to be between MS 60 and MS 70 to qualify. (non...

I don't believe natural toning is an error. However in this case, some agent was accidentally or intentionally applied to this coin, and it...
It's a dime from Philadelphia worth 10 cents. They pick these business strike coins to go into these mint sets, but I don't see anything special...

I'm not trying to discourage a new collector from the hobby. It's this idea that valuable errors are everywhere. They are not. This missing clad...
Is that entombed in lucite?
