<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1140660, member: 112&quot;]Even ANACS and ICG would not certify that coin. As said already, it is severely corroded. </p><p><br /></p><p>Jason - for your knowledge going forward. Any time you see a coin that looks even remotely similar to that one - you do not want to buy it. I&#039;m not trying to knock your coin, I&#039;m trying to help you learn something. The coin was buried in the ground, likely for decades. The naturally forming acids in the soil have eaten away the metal of the coin. That is what causes the surface to look all bumpy and rough. That is what corrosion looks like.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now on some coins you may only see small patches of corrosion. On others it may be more extensive. Then on coins like this one it covers the entire coin. Eventually, if that coin had been left in the ground, the corrosion would have continued until the coin disolved completely away.</p><p><br /></p><p>To put it into value terms to help give you an idea, that coin is worth about 5 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
