George99 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 2:06 pm I guess this is an American coin, not foreign. Not sure if it's modern or classic. This is a surprise find looking through my childhood coin collect. My understanding is that it was issued only as a proof with a total minting of 500. It will pain you to know that it was loose, mixed with a pile of other coins. So here's the question: Is it good enough to be graded and encapsulated? My intent is to sell the coin and I'm concerned that the oxidation is beyond toning. Is it a pretty coin or just dark and ugly. Report this Post to the Staff

I love the US made early Philippines coinage, pick up whatever I can find to work on sets. Report this Post to the Staff

Although I agree with the idea of having it graded, a slab won't stop future toning. They're not air-tight. Report this Post to the Staff
