Ahhhh - inside information he says ! Could be Mike, but since the slab in the pic seems to have reflectivity and the coin does not; and since...
Howdy chetrog - Welcome to the Forum !! You got the right idea, you just need to extend your time frame. For if you wish to collect coins with...
Mike - the one Ruben was asking about being harshly cleaned is in an NCS slab....
Congrats Frank - this one had me wondering myself. Your explanation makes perfect cents :thumb:

VF - harshly cleaned
First of all it is not round, the milled coins of this period were. Secondly, look at it and compare it to the slabbed example you posted. Can you...
