thank you. Can we please see the picture on the front of the certificate?
Thank you, I will let the Capt take this one.
Can you weigh the coin?
a shame it looks like rim has been cut a few times and coin damaged
To be fair, the certificate does state silver planchet and not a silver dime planchet. My guess it was struck on a foreign planchet and since that time has been tested/cut and thus the damage.

It doesn't look to me like a 90% silver coin. If it was struck on a foreign planchet, could it have possibly been a planchet that was just 10% silver, or zinc or whatever?
That coin has seen some action, but If the paperwork is real and that is the coin it relates to, I would think it is worth getting graded/slabbed.
Given the paperwork and the pictures now posted of the coin, I've moved into the "it's real" camp.
Unfortunately, it's also heavily worn and heavily damaged. Value maybe in the several hundred dollars range?
Lots of wear on that coin. One would think somebody would have snatched it out of circulation early? But perhaps it got back in circulation, and stayed in circulation all that time due to all the steelies in circulation after 1943, folks not looking at the date figuring it was just another 1943 steel cent.
@Pelvin...I would like to see the reverse as well as the rest of the paperwork...Cheers, RickO
I can't wait to see the rest.
