<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3788434, member: 78298&quot;]This coin looks very very shiny. It&#039;s over 130 years old. Has it been preserved in a glacier? If it&#039;s not original (this much luster/ high grade would be very expensive).</p><p>Silver which has circulated a little will have a very distinctive patina. So you have to ask yourself, what happened to this coin to make it this shiny? Anything that was done is going to lower the value not raise it. But many people will take coins like this, polish them up and then sell them at higher prices to non collectors. (Flea market, etc.)</p><p>That&#039;s one possibility. Better photos might&nbsp; show a more natural coin, or, whatever the seller was trying to hide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
