That seems to be the general consensus, from a few other well respected numismatists i speak with, offline. Fills a hole in my "circulation" finds Whitman. Thanks for stopping by.

If someone offered you a coin, without mentioning where he found it.. Surely, you jest! Detectable wear is the lowest common denominator.

If someone hands me a coin based on numismatic interest, that’s not “from circulation” to me, regardless of how he got it. “From circulation” means ONE AND ONLY ONE THING - I got it in change from everyday commerce. I have a Dansco cent album for ONLY those cents. It’s easier now in Alabama cuz we see both Philly and Denver cents. I get mostly D nickels and dimes, and mostly P quarters.

In my heart (to borrow from an old campaign slogan) I know you're right, but the gods of numismysticism have been arrayed against me. Maybe that's why they invented the term "business strike". 🤔 Edited June 25, 2022 by Quintus Arrius No particular reason. rrantique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're calling "coin fraud". Is that what this is? A "coin fraud" "witch hunt" straight out of the "middle-ages"? Huh?! I shoulda seen this one coming!

Henri Charriere Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Please, please, please RESIST the urge to use a "wire" brush! The tool or liquid you use should be of the least intrusive and non-abrasive kind. And any damage you may do, inadvertently or not, cannot be undone regardless the age and condition of the coin. Without knowing its precise cause, I would put down that Q-tip and wait to hear from our resident experts to chime in. CoinJockey73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some resident nickel experts can chime in on this one, as well. Is this an alloy mix issue? And it looks like there a crack above that dome on the white house. That's worth a buck, or two. thank you. Pretty decent shape for 106 years old, or something like that. I ain't no mathematical guy. Anyway. Silver.

Henri Charriere Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 The way I see it, grading aside, EVERY silver coin is a winner! Your average teenager, preoccupied with other things, either overlooks silver or is oblivious to it. I believe the "change shortage" inadvertently loosed a hoard of all manner of coins on the public, including silver. CoinJockey73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
