Hi, no I don't have a scale.  I don't know for sure that it was in circulation, I just assumed since its beat up.  Its my Uncle's coin. At some point i will purchase a scale, so i will check that, thank you

I just put them in a small pan of water and boil them a few minutes, then rub them with a soft cloth.  Works beautifully 

Ok, thank you.  I didn't think about it being an after minted thing.

I think it’s just damage that caused the 9 to be distorted. These aren’t meant for circulation, but it looks like it has seen some wear. Someone must have stored this in a bag of coins or thrown around. 

I believe it was in circulation. I am aware its current value, without an error, is approximately 30.00, but with the error, can you give me a guess as to the value please? Thank you

Hello, I would like someone's opinion, as to the value of this coin.  From what I have learned these coins began being minted in 1986, so this coin, on first glance looks like it has a date of 1900.  When i checked it under my loop, I can see that the 1st zero has, what looks like something else squished under it.  My assumption is that it is a 1990, because or process of elimination.  Any input would be appreciated, thank you !
