Fenian Valued Member Canada 79 Posts	Posted 10/11/2021 2:18 pm A friend was looking through his silver maples yesterday and found this one. He was cleaning it and found a significant depression underneath the grease/goo. First photo includes a sample of the grease he cleaned off. Weight is 31.13 grams. Any idea as to the rarity, what it was struck through and what the value might be? Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

From what I know most of there value is in the bullion for the coins. Someone else probably knows more about this as I don't but bullion coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Old saying never clean coins, graded maybe 200 bucks if you can find a buyer Edited by john100 10/11/2021 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Despite what others have posted here, there _IS_ a market for this sort of thing.
