Could be an acid or something etching the copper quicker than the nickel.
Please post all coin related jobs. I've wanted in the business for years now, but I don't just want to be a bullion cold caller.
Thought I was plenty clear, The coin is slabbed as "genuine". Initially I was a bit confused and upset by getting this, but I am a proof...
My mistake, it is the large motto.
Still very hard to determine grade. A really nice example should look something like this.[ATTACH]
If you like it, it is worth protecting.
I guess I should have been clearer about the circumstance of my ASE set. I received the package and shipped it back out the same day with a box...
Very nice find! It would be imposable to grade the coin from those images, especially for a proof. Proof coins really need to be graded with the...

I would happily buy every one that you could find in this condition for $75.
Thanks for the replies, it just struck me as curious.
It sold to collectors as well as used them as gifts to foreign dignitaries. There does seem to be discrepancies in mint numbers and actual proof...
It's hard to say what it takes for a TPG to slap the "genuine" tag on a coin, sometimes I think they are just in a bad mood. I have seen too many...
I still got excited even realizing that it is April fools day.
Separate names with a comma.
