I voted AU-55. It definitely has some light wear. I see a pattern to some of the marks on the reverse, but I don't think that it's bad enough to...
The great thing about the Iowa commemorative half dollar is that it was distributed fairly. There was no "out the backdoor" nonsense for "favored...
Here are two tokens, with different finishes, from the 1936 Roosevelt re-election campaign. Note the New Deal images. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I agree. There was no need to collect those coins back in the day. They were made to bilk collectors out of more money. It was one of biggest...
This campaign medal is neat with the Zeppelin on it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

If you don’t think it’s been cleaned, spend some time looking at the fields in front of Ms. Liberty’s face. There are other areas, but those are...
