  1. It looks like the edges of the rims are still shiny. Did they mask off the edges somehow? It may be just the way the photo looks. I may have to experiment with my beadblast cabinet.
  2. The secret is out! https://smile.amazon.com/Fort-Knox-Milk-Chocolate-Coins/dp/B086R4H8XX/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3R4R1ZDS8Q96I&keywords=gold+chocolate+coin&qid=1656379509&sprefix=gold+chocolate+coin%2Caps%2C272&sr=8-4
  3. I too was surprised when Mark said AU. I still say VF20 being the 1880 S was known for crisp, clean strikes, so it takes a good amount of handling to look that worn. This one just doesn't scream XF to me. Maybe it is the dull appearance.
  4. VF20, Worth maybe $35-40. Nothing special.
  5. Except for silver and gold collector coins, US coinage has been horrible since 1965.
  6. I stopped eating wheaties when I saw what they did to Jenner.
