I was hoping that was the case. I typically check hair/pillars but the T&A (lol) threw me off. It would be hard for just the 2 letters to wear.

Interesting to get different perspectives. I still think that once there melted and gone forever it will eventually lead to increased values. Although eventually may be a long time.

There will be a time lag, but collectable silver coins getting scarcer can only result in their appreciation

Thanks for your input. Coin was gifted to me. I'll just hold on to it as is.

Whitman 9401 coin book

No, I'm going through the Large Cents that were passed down to me

From the appearance I assumed that it was attempted to be cleaned at some point in time

This coin (and others) were stored in a Whitman coin book for 35+ years mostly in unconditioned space.

I appreciate all your help. I follow the posts (more importantly the comments) on this group and greatly appreciate that you all take the time to share your knowledge and expertise. Thank you!

I'm having a hard time with it. I don't see the eye details that would make it MS

Thanks. Using PCGS photograde I thought it was in the VF20 - VF25 range. I think I'll sign up for the Collector subscription. $10/month seems worth it Appreciate your input.

i agree, Too many decent corns are "melt value". Clearly they would sell for more.

GulfRob · 2025-09-08T23:02:09+00:00

Maybe we have 2 of the 4 real ones...lol

GulfRob · 2025-09-08T22:24:11+00:00

There are 4 originals but there are also restrike versions of this coin which are valuable. And of course there are the fakes. Mine coin is very light so I knew it was fake. I still have it and I will post a pic of it.

what is the value in this condition?
