    Baking Soda.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Yup. I saw this coin in the late 1990's in a 63 holder at a Seattle show. So wanted to buy it but was beyond my means at the time

    Thanks Tdn. What a lovely proof dollar.



    From the 1984 Stack's catalog Lot 251



    "1945 Brilliant Proof This too has the inevitable hairlines so common to the early proofs. The 84 distinctly double-cut. SIMILAR PERIPHERAL TONING TO MOST THE OTHERS IN THIS COLLECTION"



    Any idea how the collection was stored? I mean, besides with plenty of t.l.c.

    Curious, do you know what it was going for back then or what similar dollars were going for?

    Very distinctive toning pattern

    I want to say $15k at the time - something in that area.

    somewhere there's a picture of the holders built for the collection. I believe they looked similar to what Eliasberg had
