My Kennedies are spending money, but if you feel that strongly about it, once I get set up on the Photo Gallery system here, I'll pull out the worst ones when I come across them, & put up pictures. Please do so.  Thanks, Domain555 |

I know how coins wear, and it would be trivial for me to sand off 95% of that and do the last 5% in my pocket to hide the evidence. A TPG would never know how it got there. |

I agree. It is no different than hiding cleaning with pocket wear. Now, do not get me wrong, I like how he looks. Never met an Eisenhower dollar that I did not like.  |

Now for the rest of my question. How would one go about taking off the first 95% of an IKE? Naturally one would start with ONLY a really used-messed-up coin. Maybe some thing like this one.   |

I've seen some lower-grade clad coins but not a whole lot.

That one's already beyond grading. The date would be gone completely by the time you wore off the scratches. Better to start with a fresh one.

I agree. But to answer the question, a belt sander maybe? By the way, I must protest this project.  I think we managed to hijack this thread and I must offer my apology to jpsned. For what it is worth, I think publius has the best explanation. A combination of a more wear resistant composition plus a higher rate of withdrawal. |

 That's about the best I've found. As stated, I can't prove that FDR didn't have a sander or buffer applied to him. |

Got this in change a few weeks ago. Seems as honest as they come for 50 years' worth of circulation. They minted close to 2 billion of these, and it seems like they'd mostly all still be fit for circulation, yet I hardly ever see any this old. I suspect people see 196_ and pull them out, even though they're virtually worthless. Heck, I'll probably give this guy a long rest myself.  |

How do clad coins and Zincolns go as drier coins?

I'm pretty sure the coin Finn235 posted above is an answer to your question. |
