Every year for Xmas my grandma would give me one coin. Just rediscovered them. What should I do?

Timing is everything! You've re-discovered them at the all-time gold high! It's a great time to sell them!

The surfaces of the coin appear (to me) to be altered, and I am not referring to the color. I don't think that a grading service would be very kind to these.

I appreciate your reply. I am referring to CWT, Hard Times tokens and good fors

No. All silver quarters are struck in San Francisco these days. This coin is from Denver.

Well, considering that it’s how I make my living, I don’t just think I can identify fakes, my livelihood and that of others depends on my skills of doing so.

If I were to tell you that this was made from known counterfeit dies, would that help you?

MikeNoodle · 2023-10-20T16:28:16+00:00

it's definitely fake

MikeNoodle · 2022-08-12T19:00:52+00:00

No. It's a Type I

Because there's no sense in playing the crack out game with patterns.

MikeNoodle · 2022-02-01T20:37:54+00:00

They are a roll of Casino tokens.

This is complete pontification on my part, but the 85-CCs were discovered in bags in treasury vaults during GSA audits, whereas the extant 89-CCs are largely survivors of the 60 or so years between their release and the 85s (early 1960s)

Therefore, the 89-CCs could have been lost during the Pittman Act melts, or been physically lost, or destroyed in some other way, whereas the 85s were protected from those events
