What happen to this coin...

[Akaky]

Just curious - what do you guys think happened to this coin. The reverse is shiny like a proof, the rim is shiny like a proof but the obverse has been destroyed. Is there a way to get a coins to have a proof like shine?

This was the only half-way interesting coin in yet another box of skunks. Where oh where did all the silver go?

Chromed before being abused?

Looks like chrome to me.

Quick! Toss it back!

I thought it was something like that - didn't really think anyone would do that to a halve.

Thanks guys

If you stick with this hobby, it's possible to find chromed, gold, annodized, and so on, I have kept a few of those for conversation....and I've found chromed (silver), and gold-plated dimes. Really cool! FFD

Chromed, like a car bumper. Then it fell off and got run over by the tires. heeheehee.

I haev one chromed. And a few gold (Just the color, not the real stuff). Just what people do at times.

Oh, and i have one of kennedy smoking a pipe. ANyone else get one of those? :-)
