Corrosion on a modern coin? The coin is lost as far as value. To try to save it, have you considered dipping it? Dip was designed to remove the...
Ah, makes more sense. Yeah, MN is very much a socialist state. My firm has had many a run-in with MPCA. We own about 800 acres in NW MN in between...
Typo and was supposed to be a 50 D?
Last one looks like African slave bracelet. Its hard to tell though, could also be a copy of SE Asian proto-money.
