Good example of the Blakesley Effect, too! Chris
Ditto! It might help further if you'd give us an image of the whole coin. Chris
Yeah, I sold all of them when silver was about $45/oz. Nice little profit, there! Chris
It's hard for me to tell from that image. I'd need to see a better close-up. (Not an enlargement of the current image.) It does look like it could...
When I was in Vegas in 2006, I spent about $80 at Slots-A-Fun on their gaming token machines. I brought home 70 of the $10 "Nevada Wildlife...
FYI......If the $10 gaming tokens were produced after 2005 (I think) they contain one-half ounce of silver. Chris
Yes, it is a strikethrough but it looks like a build-up of compacted grease and debris fell off the die onto the incoming planchet. After being...

The raised marks are due to the die polishing. Chris
Forget what I said! You know everything. Please let us know the results of your submission. We have crow on the menu. Chris

What I find unusual about this coin is that the O/C strike on the obverse does not line up with where the O/C strike on the reverse should be....
Apparently, the medal was the inspiration of Ben Franklin and it was sculpted by the renowned French medalist, Augustin Dupre. Sadly, it doesn't...
Let's face it! You will either like a coin or you will not. Since you chose to post this thread, I can tell that it gives you pause to consider...
