I edited my post 1 minute after I posted. I was looking at another post with a capped bust half and got confused.
Whoops looking at another post. Yes $3.72 on the silver melt value, and because it's a Barber, $5.
Pretty sure it has been cleaned. (But all old silver has been cleaned.) When the coin is very worn and still shiny, it's been harshly cleaned. But...
Yeah also not seeing the S. Even on a worn coin (let's say AG-03) the mm almost always stands out and is legible especially under magnification....
The dollar coins are not so bad because it's just a slightly large quarter, but again there's no real way to spend them, especially in the self...
Too many crooks spoil the broth.
The missing clad will almost always 100% be on one side only. If it was on both sides the coin would be incredibly thin and light and the pressure...
Yes that is a delightful set. Usually I just see worn, tarnished circulated war nickels. These really stand out.

The reverse could be more of a worn die than circ. But there are areas that are a concern. The field in front of the nose. The field behind the...
Personally even though it prob received an MS grade, it probably lightly circulated. 64
Well the bills are different years and different letters. You could get the same serial number, same year, from a different fed reserve branch.
Yes offset ink transfer the obverse touched the inking bed. It has value depending on how dark it is. I had a few of these in the 80's at the OTB,...
The condition is a deal breaker otherwise it's a keeper.
If it's really BU I guess $5 is an OK price. The prob with the Roos set there's really no key dates. Lowest mintage is the 49-S 13M. USA Coin Book...
I imagine that green is from a teller's pen.
The price guide lists a couple varieties. A 6 over 6. (Nope.) And "Arrowhead" where there is something inside the 6. Also no. Click on the guide...
Separate names with a comma.
