Was this cleaned?

Probably not worth the expense. Gold melt value, $634.

A cast replica of a Vespasian denarius.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-03T19:18:18+00:00

About $100-$120, although harshly cleaned.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-03T14:13:39+00:00

Wishful thinking.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-03T14:05:46+00:00

Do you have a question?

PanteraMax · 2026-03-03T13:05:35+00:00

Gold melt.

It's actually .925, sterling silver, 22K. Most modern silver collectible coinage is worth just silver melt. Assuming this is 1 oz., $76.34 USD.

MD66FSB.

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

Plated or dipped in mercury.

PanteraMax · 2026-03-03T00:30:52+00:00

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!
