Welcome aboard! Can you take some photos with the coin next to (or even better, surrounded by) "regular-looking" dimes from the box? That'll give...
This goes against most of what I've read here, posted by metallurgists as well as experienced collectors. Acetone can't dissolve metal sulfides or...
But nickel easily passivates with a layer too thin and transparent to cause toning, right?
Know how I can tell that you've never run a site with a large user community?
Must be everybody scrambling for silver to ransom their files. Or maybe whoever's getting all that BTC ransom is dumping it into silver. Or...
There's really no safe place once fundamental laws of physics and chemistry no longer apply.
No US coins dated 1965, 1966 or 1967 have mint marks.

Looks like someone needs to go have a nap.
Okay, I can see how my posts could have been misinterpreted. There's only one 1947-D half, and that's the one each of my posts mentioned...
So, when I type 1947-D, is the "-D" visible only to me? :rolleyes:
I see only one 1947-D half. You know the provenance of the coin and have it in hand. I've got one photo of each side, showing some...
The 1947-D half might just have been struck from a very worn die, but it raises my hackles. I'd want to weigh it carefully and do a magnet test....
Ah, yes, the coin auctions where there's no online participation, not even any online announcement that it's going to happen. Aren't those the...
Know how I know stern looks aren't effective? There are SBAs with obverse hits.
