Thanks for joining in Swamperbob.I have checked the edge very carefully and there is no seam line but I could not bring myself to get a blade anywhere near this coin or any other  The surface color is a beautiful uniform and lustrous copper color. |

grouse12 - I think ANACS is the solution here - that edge looks fine to me.

FYI. Weight is an indicator of how coin came to be. Sometimes clad seperates durring the blanking process and the metal clad seperates from the core. Other times the clad coin planchet may get mixed in with zinc cent planchets and become copper coated. Beware. You can actually solder a rod to clad coins and rip off the clading! You can tell if this is the case by very close examiniation of the texture of the surface of the coin and by exaimination of the flat surface area of the rim on obv. and rev. Usually in this case some jagged metal will be left behind and appear as a tear about the rim surface area where metal was ripped loose. If coin grades as real. KEEP IT. Lastly, look at the rim area for cladding layer depths. This will speak volumes. Hope this helps. P.S. I passed on a state quater totally copper washed obv. and rev. and beautiful at $500.00 only because I could not buy it then. Twas a bargain. Dollar outta be worth more. Regardless of todays State Quarter popularity. Good luck. Gusp |

I am interested in the outcome from Anacs but please watch your language in the posts as this is a family forum.
