<p>[QUOTE="ernie11, post: 211444, member: 1845"]Guys, thanks for all the advice. The coin has been in my safe deposit box for years, pretty much forgotten. Now I will have to dredge it up and give it a second look-see. When I do, I will figure out a way to scan it for you (I have no camera) with precision. At the time (1981) ANACS didn't not go into detail as to why they thought it was not genuine - I assume because of its composition. Alas, since it is only in Good condition, it didn't occur to me that it was an altered mint mark. My suspicion and reason for submitting it was that it was a brassy color, not silver-like, but hey, I thought it was possible it was just discolored. I also had shown it previously to a couple of dealers at the time and they had mixed opinions on its authenticity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
