<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Duhaul, post: 1964805, member: 71705&quot;]Yes - upon further examination, I believe the coin is coated. It looked like it was minted from a silver proof planchette. However, after I had handled it yesterday, I could see that the coloring was becoming less uniform and some copper was starting to show through. The fact that it had a bluish tint to it also would seem to indicate that this coin had been coated. I am 60 years old. I took that coin out of circulation when I was 12. So it should have ten years of wear. It doesn&#039;t, most likely, due to the coating that was applied. Someone here mentioned Mercury as a possible coating agent. This could be it. I&#039;m not sure what was used, but I&#039;m now certain it wasn&#039;t the stroke of luck I thought it was![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
