<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1366128, member: 31533"]Unless your grandfather had some special access to getting the coin from the mint (and that is assuming that it actually is what you think it is, which it probably isn't --- see post #2, above) then you stand more of a chance of being struck by lightning than getting 'that' coin. Plus, provenance is the lineage that can be proved where a coin came from, and as much as it's nice to hear that it was someones grandfather that had it and passed it down, that is not provenance. Provenance is documentable. If by some chance (however slight) it actually turns out that you have one, then it's value to you and everyone else in this country would probably be ZERO since it would be worthless to buy something you know will be confiscated without remuneration by the government. </p><p><br /></p><p>But do the tests, put up some pics, and it will most likely turn out to be an ordinary penny that some high-schooler experimented on in lab (or something like that).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
