@Candygirl7, can you try this, please? Put the piece on a standard sheet of white paper (8 1/2 x 11). Hold your camera far enough above it so...
They were only issued as part of proof sets, so it's really unusual to find them in circulation. Nice find!
Whew. From the tone of your post, I was afraid he'd put it in a slab or something. ;)
According to my college transcripts, there was a time when I could do that kind of derivation. It clearly didn't stick. [IMG]
You seem to be jumping to a lot of conclusions from the assumption that the original picture has accurate color balance. If you take a picture of...
If the seller refused to accept the return, and eBay had to step in to force it, they might let you keep the counterfeit -- at least, that...

I understand that not everybody pays as much attention to individual coins as we do here, but... $7.50 in the reject slot? :eek: Glad it fell...
Your Dad certainly deserved a medal, whether or not the military was ever going to issue one. Thanks for sharing this story!
