<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3096320, member: 77639&quot;]Arkies, of which there were 16 years/mint/types, are among the least loved commems.&nbsp; Some were carried as pocket pieces, not because they were loved, but as something unusual to show folks.&nbsp; These got worn.&nbsp; It&#039;s impossible to say with complete confidence that this coin or any coin is genuine by examining pictures.&nbsp; Only an expert can do that with coin in hand.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see anything that would indicate it&#039;s a fake, but I&#039;m not an authentication expert. </p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;39 Arkies are among the lowest mintage coins produced after 1933.&nbsp; Yet, they are relatively inexpensive because of lack of demand. &#039;35 are the most common and least valuable.&nbsp; Arkies are noted for lack of luster even in high grade.&nbsp; Probably because the dies weren&#039;t highly polished, but there could be other reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
