OK... I just tossed my collection in the trash.... Good Lord!!!
It’s like walking out with a handful of history…. That has some really good value as well! Cool haul.
You would know if it had been acid dated previously. The signs are unmistakable.
I just went back and saw this question. Absolutely not. Could you imagine Ford Motor Company putting worn out engines in new cars? Of course not....
Now THIS is THE reason to have a coin encapsulated. I believe that protecting a cherished family heirloom absolutely merits encapsulation.. ICG...
@charley I don't believe I have ever seen you so wordy..... Sadly some of the gold counterfeits out there are done frighteningly well. I couldn't...

Correctly identified as a Liberty nickel but is also commonly referred to as a V-nickel because the Roman numeral “V” is a very prominent feature...
