coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2011 11:11 am Yes. That is one. I've found a few of the 1997 examples in circulation. But looks like one on the 1996. Put in a 2X2 to keep finger prints off of it. The plating get discolored like the coin on the right with each set of finger prints passing over it. (Always handle coins you wish to keep by the edges to prevent the ruin for life fingerprints. Also was hands before/while touching coins. The washing will remove the salts and other contaminates that can ruin coins in time.) Report this Post to the Staff
