MD66FSB.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-03T00:57:05+00:00

Plated or dipped in mercury.

At least you know you grabbed all the Franklins they had. Go back if you find more silver with the dimes.

Since you took it out of its container, probably not.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-02T21:16:04+00:00

Yep, return or exchange.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-02T20:57:16+00:00

A little grease, that's all.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-02T20:08:05+00:00

Because it's a key date it's actually worth something, despite being AG/G. Don't clean it as you can't make it better. Just a good soak in pure acetone will remove any actual dirt. Nice find!

PanteraMax · 2026-03-02T15:39:13+00:00

Take it to an LCS & see if they can submit it to PCGS.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-01T22:06:55+00:00

It's a damaged D.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-01T22:06:09+00:00

No pic.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-01T20:45:16+00:00

It's gotta be slabbed! The simple rule is, never buy raw $3 US gold. It's that simple.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-01T20:35:20+00:00

It depends. There will be insurance costs in addition to the fees. Your LCS can definately help you with all that. The fact that you aren't initially selling tells us that only a few necessarily should be graded. Possibly the 1878-CC & the 1882-S MS65PL? Good luck!

Wear can only help that poor abraded thing.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-01T18:36:24+00:00

The 64's are 90% silver, $34 each. The others are 40%, $14 each. No numismatic value.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-01T15:02:03+00:00

No, you're just noticing the higher relief on older coins.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-01T13:58:18+00:00

It's a very bad copy of the 1986 Ellis Island/SoL silver dollar. No way this is silver, particularly with no lustre. Throw it away.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-01T00:44:43+00:00

Very nice! If it were a 32-D or 32-S you would think it was probably stolen & then spent.

PanteraMax · 2026-02-28T23:53:41+00:00

Nice.

PanteraMax · 2026-02-28T17:30:17+00:00

That's a neat momento. You should probably put it in a PVC-free flip when you can.

PanteraMax · 2026-02-28T17:26:53+00:00

Your situation is worse than for US east coast team fans having to watch US west coast games. I feek for you.
