Message:: [QUOTE="autobodyman, post: 827161, member: 23754"]I'll try to shoot it outside tomorrow (suns gone down already).  I know they've been polished and or cleaned.   They were my grandmother's.  When I was a kid my cousin and I would dig out her shoe box that had 80 silver dollars in it and look at them.  She promised them to us and when she died, my cousin "cleaned" them before sending 20 to me and 20 to my mother.   When I got them I put them on one of those silver cleaning plates that use water and baking soda, let sit a while, rinsed, dried and used my wife's food vaccum packer and vaccumed them in plastic bags (that was 15-20 years ago).  That's why I didn't see the S mint mark, the back of the bags are checked.  I've ordered some of those air tight coin cases to put them in (just opened a couple of the vaccum sealed bags to take the pictures when I thought it might be worth more than just silver content). Thanks ~Mike[/QUOTE]
