Opera12mi Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 09:29 am I think I may have got suckered into buying a coin that was repackaged. Can anyone tell me if RCM packaged this coin or was it a dealer? Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 10:11 am Are you sure it's silver? I had a similar one, but the dollar was nickel. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Opera12mi Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 12:07 pm I did find out it was packaged by a company called 99 company. The man who started ended up losing his shirt due to mental illness Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12271 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 12:18 pm The coin is a silver dollar, its composition is 50% silver and 50% copper. The RCM refers to the finish on the coin as "Specimen" as they did not strike proof versions of their commemorative silver dollars until 1981. The coins came packaged in hinged cases when originally sold by the RCM. Your piece may not be in original packaging, but it is a nice philatelic-numismatic cover (PNC) for the issue.
