How did this even happen?

I may have posted this years ago?, but just in case check this out. I found it in my scrap pile and again I wasn't sure what it was for several minutes. 30.3 grams.



How?

    Could be fake or major pocket piece!

    Authentic pocket piece by the looks of it. Pure silver is fairly soft and in a pocket with other coins it would wear down like that. It would still take quite some time to do, though.

    A lot of time, with a very rough/active pocket life.



    I carry a silver norfed for a few years now, cash mainly user so I get change frequently. Barely noticeable wear from that outside of field nicks and nothing like the relief wear in that ASE at all.

    That would be my guess. It looks a little too rough for a pocket piece.

    Makes sense. I can almost hear the; Oh Shxx!, when they first took it out.
