What a happy coincidence that the very last one struck also happened to earn the coveted MS-70 designation. I sure hope it doesn't start...
I wouldn't. If it actually looked like there might be anything there in-hand, I'd use strong oblique lighting. I don't think date restoration...
$100s? Sure, $1s might easily get that kind of premium, but I think it make more sense to interpret that as "a $3 to $9 premium" for a circulated...
I'm curious how this plays out in practice, because policies are usually written based on an estimated value at the time the policy is written,...
I don't really think there's anything there, but all the same, I'm staring really hard at the space under the date on that 1909. That first one...

More likely pot metal. That would be the cheapest thing to cast and then plate, I think -- and this one screams "cheap".
I won't be holding my breath. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of point bonus for coins that are crossed from a rival. :rolleyes:...
I guess these are rare enough that people are less inclined to throw them away (or, dare we say, "cull" them), no matter the damage. I've got one...
The only thing worth less than a Zincoln -- a counterfeit Zincoln. Unless, of course, it's struck on something other than copper-plated zinc....
And the gold/silver ratio is still climbing back toward 100. I'll bet old whats-his-name is absolutely fuming about not being able to come back to...
You might still be able to edit it...?
Nice find, but that thread title was really hard to click... ;)
Looks to me like it was ground away. If it had been a strike through, I wouldn't expect to see the copper layer exposed. If it had been a planchet...
