<p>[QUOTE="softmentor, post: 2027816, member: 10469"]I have found several of these in my last few boxes also. By the smell of them I'd say they were in a fire. The person who tossed them into circulation after the fire had a pretty good idea of the value now. so, if the damage is done, what harm is there in trying. Dip it. Rinse it. and then keep it or spend it depending on how it turns out. You may learn something about dipping and cleaning that will be more valuable on a more important coin in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
