Thanks for the info!

I also have a $20 1905 coin that is shiny and well defined, but has some dark gunk on it (looks like it could be cleaned off, but no way am I going to touch it), and a $20 1895 coin that lacks the luster of the other coins and has a bit more wear on it. I don't see the mint marks on either of those.

I'm really happy I hung onto them. A mason jar full of them was found buried on my grandparents' property back in the mid nineties, (around half "disappeared" into an unscrupulous uncle's pockets) the rest were given out for the next few Christmases to my generation. My cousins pawned them the second the stores opened, but I've held onto mine because I viewed them more as interesting pieces of family history rather than a source of quick cash.

Now if I need to buy a black market kidney, they'll be gone in an instant, but until then, I think I'll just keep holding onto them.
