Wow. Are you sure you want to break it out man?
Well, I would ask when was the last time you met someone collecting this series by date, especially lower level specimens. 99.99% of Americans do...
Interesting point. The new photos sure do show very sharp edges that a proof would have, as well as "questions" concerning the fields. I do agree...
I agree. XFR would only deal with surface. I would be satisfied if a smelter did a good SG and XFR on it. Gold or PT? I would want it drilled. Too...
I would be at AU58 based upon photos. I also suspect @ddddd is correct, but unless old cleaning would not see what the TPG might to say details....
I do wonder though. One of the bases of NCLT coins nowadays is how they are made from pure silver. That at least gives you a base to work off of...
Looks like someone painted it. Please tell me they aren't leaving the mint like that. Bad enough "crystal eyes" on a coin, (wonder how they would...
I would not expect any gold. A jeweler of all people would know the value of gold and not mix any in with silver. Unless you wanted to hang onto...

If my post will be over edited, I will simply delete it entirely.
I agree as well. The "ghosting" of the word Liberty on circulated coins happens and can sometimes look kind of strange. "Damage" is a moving...
Government backed, non-VA and non-Jumbo mortgages. I got lucky since mine was already locked and a VA loan.
They ended it because it was a pretty bad fake. Hopefully the seller was informed and did the right thing.
Yes, its pretty much assumed. That is why I said it was weird. Toning would explain it.
PF68 but its weird, being not full steps for a proof.
Possible. I have heard stories of some people stepping out of their car at a certain place every day and throw any pennies they got on the ground....
Any chance its part of a water runoff path? A friend in the 1970's found a bunch of dimes and cents where water rushed down to a spot at a school....
About word for word my opinion.
I always read the 2.5s never circulated really. The only demand for them was annual Christmas gifts. The $5s were the workhorses, as seen on...
