Just found this today in a CoinStar of all places. Just a single coin in the tray and popped it straight into my pocket, thinking it was a copper penny it was so dark. Didn't look at the date till I got home and freaked. I'm guessing AU55 dark. What do you all think?

Looks AU58. Painfully close to FSB. Great strike.

 AU-53-55 , I wonder if a 2 or 3 second silver dip would take away some of that darkness. you don't want it to look like a full mint bloom on a circulated coin. Great find.

AU55 may have been improperly stored to get that much oxidation. nice find!

Gee ChildOfTheWheat, how fast do you think it was flipped over once I saw the date? Instant wasn't fast enough!

lol.......my son has found a merc at our local coinstar too, under the machine. Great find, 55-58 at least. If these idiots only knew how much profit they are losing due to it kicking out silver! They should be kicking out these garbage zincies.
