johnsolaris Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 11/03/2022 4:03 pm Hi, The bank had 5 rolls of halves, so I took them & found this one. I thought I had a silver when I opened the roll. Then I took it out & looked at the date. 1971. The edge looks silver, but there are problems. It has a shiny proof like finish & some kind of film on it. I have not tried to clean it & the weight 11.27. a bit off. Is this a real coin or was it made in someone's basement in eastern europe! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2078 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 07:30 am If you think you have a valuable coin that is the worst possible way to hold a coin in the first picture. The oil's from our fingers can leech/etch into the coin leaving a permanent finger print. Report this Post to the Staff
