[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 4828262, member: 114169"]Folks, Yet another poor Morgan Dollar that has been incarcerated. This 1890-S was turned into a key fob who knows how long ago. I cannot fathom how it got it's surface color and sheen to look like this. If I had to guess, I would think that whomever glued it into its prison put a drop of liquid mercury on its surface. That's how shiny it is. The plastic capsule won't be easy to get into. I've tried sticking a knife blade into the seam running around its edge. Nothing wanted to budge. The capsule has a few cracks, perhaps evidence of someone in history trying to give it a "get out of jail free" card. Even at those fracture points, the integrity of the plastic is insanely sturdy and intact. [B]My question:[/B] crack this one out and liberate it, or leave it in? What would you do? I'll stop the relentless questions for today after this one. Z [CENTER] [ATTACH=full]1167868[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1167869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1167870[/ATTACH] [/CENTER][/QUOTE]
