[QUOTE="BigsWick, post: 67906, member: 3534"][B]WillieSutton[/B], I believe a lot of people think we are simply talking about a toned coin when they first read our posts. It is a valid assumption but obviously not applicable in this case. The closest I've come to finding any kind of information at a couple of forums was by viewing the link provided by [B]jimmy-bones[/B] in this thread. The auction description says they are commemorative coins from an estate sale, but it doesn't give any other information. Commemorative of what? Who plated them? The really odd thing is that I've got the polished one with the stamped dates and the gold one with nothing else done to it. I doubt they are worth much more than face, $2 or $3 tops, but I'm hanging onto them just in case. They were neat to find while roll searching. Can you post a picture of the one you found?[/QUOTE]
