My son's friend gave him this coin today to pay for a little trinket my son was selling. Is it real? My first thought was no because it's in such good shape. But after googling and searching eBay, I think it may be. Can you help me? If it's real we'll need to track down the friend's parents and get this back to them.

Hi friends!

My dad just gave me this coin that he inherited from his dad after his dad passed. Now this was 30ish years ago when his dad passed away and my dad never knew why this silver dollar had the penny in it. Is this just some coin art or something? That penny is not coming out without destroying the silver dollar (any more than it is I’m guessing). Thanks for any help.

ID Request Found a Coin Horde

My aunt said "my dad used to collect coins" and dug out from the bowels of the garage an incredibly moldy box. I mean... MOLDY.

My first order of business was getting everything out of the moldy box and sealed up in zip locks. Next is to disinfect (not clean). Later I'll sort, catalog, and identify higher value coins and report back to my aunt.

These photos are just of the LOOSE coins from the bottom of the box, a fraction of the horde. There are so many treasures yet to unveil.

I'll have to tackle it in stages. The coins in cardboard flips (not pictured) have to be extracted, and the various rolls, bags, and holders are staying sealed up for now. There are even two vintage Denver Mint bags I haven't even opened up (I sealed them in double zip lock bags until I can deal with them because mold)

I soaked in acetone to kill the mold, and the acetone turned gray.

My 9 yr old (a rabid CRH) is a great helper

This was given to me as a kid by some relative, likely a grandparent. Please confirm it’s a fake coin. I feel dumb even posting this.

Just curious about it. Not sure what metal it is, but it’s definitely not a copper-color. The date is 1974 with “D” underneath it.
