hope1 New Member Lebanon 2 Posts	Posted 03/29/2017 4:44 pm I've come across a coin my father bought in the summer of 1983-1984. I've noticed all the coins I have researched are silver. Why is this one I have colored (see attached photos) * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
