Dmille2 Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 04/04/2020 7:35 pm Going through my grandmothers coins I found this. I believe it's a walking liberty American silver dollar. However I read that they didn't start production of these coins until 1986. I did the silver test on back with a drop of bleach and it did tarnishes little. Any ideas?

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/04/2020 9:46 pm to the CCF! Is the coin the same size as a regular silver dollar? Does this coin have a year on the obverse? The first year for the Silver Eagle is 1986. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
