    Hmm. Not quite the "hammer strike" I was hoping for image

    a full squashed head maybe... image


    I'd call it an MS-70 ... as in Meltable Silver worth 70c ... image



    ... ok... so it's worth around $5 in silver but that didn't fit into the MS70 thing image

    I was excited to see your 1919 SLQ in FH - as I was out bid
    on another 1919 FH the other day on eBay. I was thinking it
    might have been you... guess not ... LOL

    That poor coin's so beat up - I'd drill a hole in it and use it as
    a key chain. It looks like you found that coin underneath a snow
    pile dragged along by the snow plow.

    Was Coca-Cola doing a promotion back then by using 1919 SLQ as bottle caps to help sell its brand? image

    Mike,

    Break into a bank in Orlando and you too can see my unsmacked one... but I think that set is going to be for sale soon enough.

    The one you were bidding on, was that the 64+ Ira had online? Nice coin...

    Octagonal commemorative silver similar to the Pan Pacs.

    This is the rarer raised edge variant.
