<p>[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 4031560, member: 107016"]Here's the update on this coin. I saw my friend last night, the one who is having me throw out a bunch of his mothers old furniture. I presented the coin to him last night and he was pretty shocked about it. He's not the type of guy who hangs on to stuff, even for sentimental value, as indicated by his desire to get rid of all of his late mother's furniture and home furnishings from the storage unit. I gave him the information about the coin, and added that it's made of silver. His wife was there in the room and she took a look at it and then chimed in "we should clean it". I informed her that it will lose value if it's cleaned. She didn't really understand why so I'm sure if she gets her hands on it, she's going to try and clean it. She's 82 years old so hopefully she doesn't put any efforts into trying to clean it.</p><p> </p><p>Basically I told him it's worth some money (at least $100 bucks from what I see on ebay for a coin in this condition) and if he ever decides he wants to sell or get rid of it, just let me know and I'll pay him for it. He was just going to toss it up on his tool counter in his garage. I told him to put it in a good place so it doesn't get damaged. I told him that if it gets damaged, (or cleaned) it will go down in value. That caught his attention so he put it in a better place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
