jessamess New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 09/08/2024 10:10 am The back of the coin is so shiny like a proof coin but a tinted color. The front of the coin looks like it is worn out but has a lot of silver color and brownish orange. Am I holding something rare or keep dreaming? Report this Post to the Staff
