Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Hey those colors look much nicer than the sellers pic. Just goes to show you can't take these ugly scans as absolutes sometimes.

    Now the sick part of this is.... I think I been hanging around with you too long. Because I appreciate the "Unusual ones" these days.image

    Looks like it had an advertising sticker on it for years while it lay around obverse up in an environment condusive to toning. Then someone used some acetone to remove the sticker.

    advertising sticker? I was thinking maybe taped to album but tone on wrong side -

    it wouldn't be end-roll

    I'm pretty sure Conder101 hits it on the head with advertising sticker. Maybe not exactly an ad sticker but maybe a price sticker or something similiar but it was some kind of sticker nevertheless.
    Here's another strange one, probably laid up in a jewelry box with a penny on it:

    I like the look of both the coins that you posted. They are both unique in their own way and that is what makes them cool.image
