It looks to me that it was in some kind of fire. Nice find tho. Any dime can look like a dime, this one has character. Drill a hole in it and put it on your keychain! Nice conversation piece.

Surely a campfire or trashpit victim. I found a couple of these in an old WWI camp. There was a fever epidemic in the camp and they burned the soldier's clothes money and all when they were sick.

plan to have it graded?

I'd love to see the ANACS grade... it say something like "fair 2 details// mangled and burnt (knowing them they'd probably actually say 'surface damage'"

Seriously, you could try making a ring out of it. Couldn't harm the ring any further. But you'd have to find someone with a very small finger to wear it.

If you want to do it, we could all pitch in 25 cents a piece for you to send it to a grading service. I'd love to see the look on the face of the grader when he opens that one.

It's still silver. The melt value of it is $1.11. That's not too bad. :icon_thumleft:
