Well, the good news is, it's not an altered 1928-S. :)
There are two shows coming up this weekend in my area, one in Greensboro, one in Rocky Mount. Has anybody been to either one? I may be looking to...
I'm eager to see the grad on this one. From your lead-up, I have to assume that it's in at least low-mid MS -- but in these photos, I'm seeing a...
If it was in with scrap coins, it's most likely because the dealer thought it was an altered 1928-S. It's possible that you're right and he was...
Seriously? They chopped one foot off the feedback system, and their solution to "improve" it is to put the other foot in a bucket of cement? An...

Are you sure you've been away? It sounds like you're pretty much up to date on everything. :) Welcome back!
Why does it matter, when you can instead buy copy coins that will "make your collection" just as "perfect"? :devil:
Whether it is or not, a grain or two will prove very useful with a thread like this.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. DON'T treat them like you would your coins. They'd look just terrible after a trip through the rock tumbler.
So, the planchets are punched (out of zinc sheet), then plated with copper, then struck, right? I'd expect that, between striking, normal wear...
It sounds like you're saying silver doesn't have any role as a store of value. This seems a bit extreme.
I'm afraid your teacher had it backwards, as you found out. Experiments always win. :)...
