Since they're in beautiful or really good condition, they could hold significant value to collectors. For coins like Liberty Head silver dollars and the 1883 Hawaii half dollar, their condition can greatly impact their worth. Before making any decisions, I'd recommend researching each coin individually to get an idea of their potential value. You could also consider reaching out to local coin dealers or numismatic experts for professional evaluations. While grading can be expensive, it might be worth it for particularly valuable coins.

For the mystery Kennedy half dollar roll, it's understandable that your friend wants to preserve its potential value. To decipher the printing on the roll, she may want to check to see if it has any special markings, dates, or mint marks. Online coin forums, numismatic websites, or even reaching out to coin collectors can provide valuable insight without necessarily opening the roll. It's a fascinating mystery - hopefully she can solve it without devaluing the contents!

Sadly, these bad boys have been imitated since their release, so finding fake ones isn't exactly news. They could've come from anywhere, not just some mysterious storage unit heist.

My hunch is that this coin hasn't lost its plating. Instead, it might have gained an extra layer of zinc plating through a chemistry experiment, probably in a high school or college class. This is a fairly common occurrence, and it's no surprise that these modified coins eventually find their way into circulation once the novelty of having a silver-colored cent wears off.

Wow, seeing your book on TV must have been a total surprise and really cool! It's always fun to find your work mentioned unexpectedly. Your book cover looks super interesting, and I bet it feels amazing to know it's getting some love in the numismatic world. If you ever find out more about why and how your book ended up on TV, I'm sure it'll be a fascinating story to tell. Congrats on your work getting some attention!

Thank you for topic!
