Even if the Silver coin grades out at MS69.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Bottom line is that SIX copper nickel IKEs carry the S Mint Mark. These were all Proof coins and folks need to know the difference. Even a circulated Proof will not look like an S Mint coin struck on a copper nickel planchet since the manufacturing processes are totally different.</p><p><br /></p><p>In reference to using the term &quot;Silver Dollar&quot; when some of the coins do not have silver in them, that falls along the same lines as calling a Lincoln Cent a Penny. If its big and bulky and the same size as a silver dollar well it must be a silver dollar. As wrong as it may appear or be, thats just the way it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
