I found it in a junk silver bin a couple years ago and really liked the look.
Edited to add: I just looked at the Pop. report, and there are a bunch of circ. Roosies of the 1980s graded AU-something.
<< <i>I assume it was a pocket piece for a time as well, but that hardly explains the dirt? Maybe from a dirt farmer?

i see no dirt on it, only patina. silver will eventually turn black if left long enough unprotected. it was a pocket piece for a few years with no other coins rubbing against it. JMO
it looks to have the pcgs rubber coin gasket from one of their slabs around it

Mine, too. The reverse lettering looks "off" to me somehow. But I could be wrong. It could just be the way it's highlighted by the toning.
PS- right or wrong, real or fake, I do like the look of it.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

It's not counterfeit. There was a women at a bank several years that was going to cash in a circulated Silver Eagle at face value. My father told her that it was silver, yet she want to get rid of it. She sold it to him for face and he gave it to me. Coins like this (i.e. mistreated) do exist.

And how is it you know it is not counterfeit?

of course if it is from a pcgs slab (and the more i look at it the more it does look like it) and it is not a counterfeit, why would it have been removed?
.
do we postulate further?

I bet that piece had some silver polish or some other substance that was not completely removed.
Then when it sat untouched for a period of time it tarnished that way instead of toning blue, brown, orange etc.
Just a WAG and as for beaming it up to the mother ship for grading all I have to say is

<< <i>It's not in a slab. >>
