Ezextra New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/31/2007 11:45 pm Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller? Touch, feel, smell by an expert? Anyone? Possible value? Anyone? Next I'll have a question about toning, though I read all about it here only, I had no idea that they were sought after. I bet there are people that clean their coins with Brillo to get such "stains" off! And here I thought I had a bunch of ugly coins! I should post them, no? Yes? Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 08/03/2007 4:00 pm There is really no question that the coin was damaged with a dremel tool after it was minted. The waves described in the threads are the results of the spinning abrasion tool actually moving the metal. A few details make it obvious. There is a gouge going from right to left where the words WE TRUST would be. There are scratches running through the rays of the sun on the left side of the coin. Probably done accidentally with the same tool. The coin shows none of the signs that it was a Struck Through Grease error. No doubt tampered with after it left the Mint. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks, Bill As soon as someone comes along and states "There's really no question", I automatically stop listening. But thank God you came along to straighten us all out. The background on this coin is that it was found in a pile of coins. A PILE. Some were clean & nice & beautiful, the ones on the bottom of the can are stained, tarnished, toned, whatever. The can apparently hadn't been touched since around the 1950's and was forgotten in a damp basement. I seriously doubt your opinion as I don't think that anyone back then who was tossing coins in a can marked "matches" and another can marked "teabags" for a rainy day would go through this trouble. You seem like an authoritah on errors according to your site, so wouldn't you agree that one would seriously have to cup the coin, caress it, and even look at it with a magnifying farfal to make a definitive "decision"? I believe so. Also, how do I get permission with my few posts to link to MY merchandise for sale the way Bill here has, with his 24 posts? Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 08/04/2007 01:11 am I don't have anything for sale on my Found In Rolls page and my askaboutcoins page has google ads like a million other sites. I have no merchandise tat I am selling. No, I dont have to caress a coin that is damaged in a way that I have seen several times before. How many off-center struck coins do I have to view to be able to say that a coin is that type of error? How many mechanically doubled coins do I have to view to say that a coin is not what we consider to be a doubled die? The coin was dated 1935, the can , as you say was from the 1950s. That leaves fifteen years for someone to have tampered with the coin before it landed in the can. I am sorry that you stop listening if someone prefaces a statement with " There's really no question" but I am comfortable with my experience and have no problem starting a statement that way when I am certain of what caused the damage. Now, that being said and to be fair, there is an outside chance that something else was involved in damaging the coin. You are certainly entitled to believe whatever you want and not believe whatever you want. I'll stand by my thoughts. Oh and,,,Thank you for your kind and generous welcome to these forums. I may be new here but not new as a collector. Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
