Ahhh man what on earth was someone thinking. But you are certainly correct saying it is better to have one than not.

I know! It's exact moments like these that I took the time to catalogue and store my coins correctly so that if anything happens to me I don't have family or friends playing hacky sack with them or giving some guy on ebay the deal of his lifetime lol! This coin came from the kids of a prominent banker who packaged the her coins in hand crafted stapled cellophane packs...I have spent the past two days managing this craziness |

I'm not sure what to make of that coin. For me, I'd just put it in circulation.

Debra--certainly hope--can use your advise and Carl this coin is not going to circulation lol! This coin fits Die 1 of the 1909 VDB MPL pretty snug :-)

Looks like solder residue, since it's pretty much junk, I'd heat it with a torch and see if the solder just runs or burns off.

Don't forget to use sandpaper to smooth off those rough edges  |

Just a hunch here, but that coin looks shellacked. A nice long soak in actetone might perk this one up
