BjC Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I found this coin a while ago in change, and was shocked by the condition... perhaps it's been altered? what is your opinion... 1936 S Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Nah, probably just liberated from someone's collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I'd guess the same as Jlueke -- somehow escaped from a collection. It's a nice looking cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foundinrolls Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hi, Depending upon where you are, some dealers still do coin drops as they used to be called. Sometimes they circulate a few nice coins to build up some interest in the geographical areas around coin shows. Also, some folks will take a coin like that to a local dealer if they don't know what the value is. Then the dealer might have a new potential customer. Less common nowadays but still done on occasion. I just thought I'd mention that possibility. Have Fun,Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Nice find! Looks like a good coin. Don't think there is any alteration that I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 There are also people who lose a spouse or whatever and pack the whole coin collection off to the bank. What a tragedy.... Let's not talk about the divorce thing. A friend of mine who has a small dealership just went through that. UGLY@@@@@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
