CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 12/16/2015 03:53 am Got this one at my LCS with a 1960SD (P&D) and 1960LD (P&D) mini set for $5 bundled together. I think he thought it wasn't authentic. It's been highly cleaned and it's very VERY soft. It has a hit on the reverse that almost bends the coin, so I'll assume it's legit. Value? I know these are highly counterfeited too. What do these usually weigh? I don't have a scale, but I can buy one fairly cheap.

I haven't come across one and only one die type is listed on the no no site and it is fairly obvious. The obverse of yours is pretty well gone, the reverse is oddly strong. What does it weigh?

I've never seen a non genuine example. Here is some info. http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/Col...d.intro.html swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
