<p>[QUOTE="Avery G., post: 3873397, member: 102096"]Here's a little history of this coin. My 89 year old mother had this coin in her possession since the late 60s or early 70s in a jar and other containers with other coins she thought might have value or at the very least is interesting. It has been out of circulation for 40+ years. The spot on the cheek and bow tie is the same color as what you guys are calling a scratch. I suspect that it may be silver struck into this coin, which would explain why it is shiny and not rusted like the rest of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
