How would this one be graded and would the slab be made to accommodate the nail?  |

CR-0.25 Coin went through "surface restoration" as target in particle collider. There may be holes (and isotopes) present. Best stored in a lead container. So how many neutrons on my platinum coin have to get knocked around before it becomes a plutonium coin ? Edited by denco7

Love it! I think I will go search the truck stop, then stop by the particle lab.

I stumbled upon this post years back and finally found it again. Great scale, might be tough to get an electronic microscope. What's the process of dating those coins? Carbon dating? |

this gave me a good laugh I'm wondering how we assess these without an electron microscope as my collider is in for maintenance |

Maybe a mass spectrometer? Would be good for exact composition
