Wizards of the 79-S SAF... Solved

Post by SilverToken » Sat Apr 15, 2023 10:35 pm

This is a Swap meet coin from 10 years ago. It has 4" mirrors and was a lark purchase. I have attempted to VAM this out multiple times over the last couple of years with no luck. Please review the images and PLEASE give me a direction.

Will post 2-3 times for all images

Thank you in advance

It looks like a lot of what you show are planchet striations. You should learn how to spot them. Maybe this coin will help.

THANK YOU- yes a 115. The 2 direction of polish lines in the ear matches.

The shared obverse of the 101 matches the definitive ear, the reverse matches the 115 MM position.

Pretty coin, glad I grabbed it
