Or you could put it in a future pile for a junk silver sale, probably not worth much more than melt. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Is there any rule that laminations on coins all have to be facing/running in the same direction? . Report this Post to the Staff

Not that I'm aware of but just observation over time. I did find one on this site that goes against my thought process though. https://goccf.com/t/487354&SearchTerms=lam -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
