C.J. Jarhead Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Amateur collector for many years. Stuffed this away 25 years ago and have never got an informed opinion about what it is. Rather than assume, can anyone give me a little guidance? Weight is 2.68g. Thank you in advance. C.J. Edited March 15, 2020 by C.J.

Greenstang Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Welcome to the Chat Box It looks to me like someone may have tried filing down the rims to make it the same size as a dime, hence the lighter weight. You can see this in the unevenness of the rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.J. Jarhead Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thank you! I've thought of that very thing however the raised rim makes me skeptical about filing/grinding. I've seen examples struck on foreign planchets that at first glance appear similar in shape and size to that one. Would you recommend I submit it for grading? If you don't mind, can you tell me if someone treated these coins with a substance after they were struck or can this result "naturally?" I appreciate your time and advice. (sorry for the poor quality). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbbpll Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 What does the edge look like on the 1958? Coin looks bent. Your other coins look plated, painted, or otherwise messed with, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbbpll Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's the first one, 1958-D, that looks bent to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.C Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 . I think it's beautiful but I have no idea what caused it. Looks interesting but it's artificially toned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
