[QUOTE="sunshineium, post: 1263289, member: 31150"]Hi! I went to the ILNA show today a few hours before the closed up shop. I am to the point with my Indian Head and Wheat penny collections that I need keys and semi-keys. I need 9 wheat pennies and 12 IHs so I have been shopping often and carefully. Though I WANT to finish them, there is always the logical voice in my head that says "$50/$75/$100+ for a [I]circulated[/I] penny that I can [I]barely [/I]read the date on!!???" Logic usually prevails and I move on. Anyway, today I was digging through a tub of pretty ugly/problem coins and came across some ok indian heads I didn't have and the 1911 S below. So here are some questions for you all... - Assuming you have or have had the "logical voice" I do, what would you have paid for it? - What is the green? Will it continue to eat away at the coin? - What should I (or a professional) use to get it off? (If I take it to someone, I want to be versed in what should and shouldn't be used!) - Do you see any indications that it's a fake? Thanks all! [ATTACH]136936.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
