I bought this coin because I thought it was interesting and was wondering if anyone knew what the history behind this particular coin is? About all I can find is that it is a demonetized collectors coin/token. Is this correct? Mintage numbers?
I picked up these coins earlier today. I will try and post my own pics in a few days, I don't have a good way to reduce photo file sizes at the moment (iPhone ).
Carry them around as pocket pieces for a month or two and they should develop a nice circulation cameo as well as getting rid of most of the staining. Downside is they would be at a lower grade and may not have luster left, but if done right they should still straight grade.
Found this in a dollar coin roll today, got the roll Monday but looked through it today. My first true error find (not counting die clashes, DDO / DDR, or RPM's)!
Got this 2007-S canceled proof coin on Saturday along with the struck through die cap cent posted in the US error/variety forum. I also got my first platinum coin, a 1997 1/10th ounce eagle.
