That is the MC that sings the oocie Choochie Song, and I think he is from Coney Island.

@Conder101 So was it Colonel Mustard in the Pantry with the Acid or was it Miss Scarlet in the Library with the Wire Brush?

Both. Tagteam is what I speculate.

I'm not sold on the re-manufactured

@Kirt Yeah, I was doing some research and I do not see where it is re-manufactured. It fits patterns from that period. I will see a world book and see if I can find it. there is one that looks similar to that. I'll post a picture of the one I found, and I will look for the world Book.

This coin is the very rare Blowfink Dabloon from the Hooch Coochie Islands.

Are you for real? can you link or post any references?

What were you hoping for?

I was Expecting an inverse D on this one. 

I am not a fan of any type of Cherry pickers guides, they are all subjective, speculative. But I get it. I cherry pick myself and I have learned not to hoard everything. I am starting to be selective in what I want to collect. one of everything

So, I kept digging and found another horse:

https://www.cointalk.com/threads/french-token-from-1777-please-help.20862/

Still not much help on what the thing is; I would be skeptical of the assertion that it is gold, or French, or even the source is the prop site the last poster stumbled across. It does provide better pictures of what appears to be a better quality, err...horse... and that may help in any further investigation. The combination of the caravel with the Templar cross, the Germanic stylistic touches on reverse, French stylistic touches on obverse, and the lack of anything major significant matching the 1777 date from either makes it very likely to be contemporary mash-up.

Only one thought - my earlier suggestion of continuing to go after tokens related to the Marquis de Lafayette may be your best bet; in all images of him he's portrayed with a very prominent nose. Ship + nose + French influence in 1777...who knows?

Even the token in that post looks re-manufactured. I don't even believe that the one on the post is gold, perhaps it is gold plated and the one here was at one point gold plated and lost its plating since the one in this post looks to be more circulated than the one on the Link. Hope this all makes sense. 

I can go back to see my old french coins, the color is consistent, and some have similar silhouettes, (Behind the added metal) but to find it, I would need close ups of the dates and the boat. Also the size and wight. 

I doubt that OP will follow up. perhaps he does not want to find out the truth out of fear and disappointment.  

Sweet, now I can reference and research my loonies.  Thanks, @Hinkle

Are you looking for the no S proof coin?  This is not it.  I can say that any proof coin from 1960's (not sure when they made the cut over to San Francisco) would have an S mint mark on it. please don't quote me on this since I am not an expert like the rest of the folks here. But i do know this much, 1990 Proofs would bear an S mint mark. Having said that, they will also have a mirror finish.

Hope this helps.

Goodluck on your next submission!

are you happy overall with the grades?

I am quite pleased with the overall grades, It is pretty much what I expected. 

@Sachin singh

Can you take a closer picture on the date and the reverse, bottom of the boat? 

The coin looks to be altered. probably a poor attempt by someone to re-enhance the design. I am curious to see what is underneed the altered details. 

And last but definitely  not least, is the ones I chose for my collection. I think I should have waited for a better W dime to come along. Still happy with the results. 

This one is the Wheel marks I missed  

This is the one where my emotions got the best of me. 

Here are some pics as promised. 

This one is the one I forgot to check the Variety plus box LOL 

Ok So I finally got my submission back in the mail, I will post picture later today. But I realized what happened to the third submission where I was expecting my 1970 S to come back S/S. I forgot to check the box in the submission form.  

So in reality. I was only disappointed by two submissions and the dime was a long shot. I new it but I let my emotions get the best of me. all in all I think it was a great learning experience.  

Yeah, That is fairly common I am not sure why it happens not an expert yet. (someday I might be) but I have seen it. 

Thank you @Conder101 I need a better camera. Phone camera does no Justice.  

It is not a question but a commendation,  

My last submission was turned around so fast that I didn't have time do digest the quality of service received by a Joe schmoe like myself. I felt so appreciated.  Thank you thank you for the amazing customer service and the quality of work.

Sometimes they're tough to spot initially but after you see it you'll wonder how you missed it.

OMG @CRAWTOMATIC 

You are right, I can see it now. LOL 

Here is the second Ike with the S/S if it turns out that both are one of each listed, oh boy  

I have two of the same year and I think they are of different virarity but here is the first. Is this a S/S Ike Silver clad dollar?

It looks very familiar to what is posted in the variety plus page.

Thanks.
