Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 10/20/2020 8:22 pm @ss1m, we are glad to help you in whatever way we can. I agree with the frog that your coin has some surface staining. Certainly could come from having been buried for a while, but at this point it is just speculation.

But the question comes to me, why can't these be faked by heating struck coins? So I question any of these found in circulation. Only original rolls would the true sources for these in my own opinion. There are certain years when this happened. Late 1950's and early 1960's. Report this Post to the Staff
