Now for my question. I came by this roll because someone used 65 and 66 halves to buy 10$ worth of gas at a local gas station.
Ive checked the local soicial boards for people looking.
What is the ediquette here?

More info needed here to reply to this, but if you think this was an "off" situation, maybe contact the local police or FBI. What makes you think this was hinky, not right?

spending $200 worth of silver on 10 bucks in gas feels like someone got into grandpa's coins.

K. I understand it was a roll of 40% silver but that does not necessarily mean it was anything more than someone not knowing any better. As I stated before, contact the authorities if you do not feel it was a good transaction....

I hate to be a stick in the mud, but I cannot tell if the picture is showing the area is sunk into the surface or not...and...it looks like silver solder like when people try to make jewelry with coins. The blob sticking up at the nottom of the S's top "loop" is sticking up like a blob of solder.

Again...could just be lighting. I cannot tell from the pics. Curious blob though - mabe a die chip in that area that also has the delamination peel off of it?

I will post some side on pics after work. See if I can get the edge clear. I looked on Errors-ref but they didn't have a photo for this. I might see if they want this one. I would think they would have a better example though.

Is the weight normal?
That area in question doesn't look oxidized like the rest of the coin.
This makes me think it was maybe a lamination after the strike or struck through foil the has come off.

Would there be that much design trasfer if the lamination fell off after the strike?
