BigAppleBucky Valued Member United States 396 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 10:44 pm Are you looking for this sort of thing? The brown is a nice even chocolate color, especially on the obverse. But, because of the terrible condition of the reverse, I say environmental damage is likely the cause. My scale says 5.1g. Considering it cost me just $0.05, I'm willing to scratch it up, or whatever. Report this Post to the Staff

Zimmy Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 5:10 pm Hello SPP.....I was wondering if I could send you two USA coins for your analysis. I am interested in seeing what their metal composition is. I am thinking they might be wrong planchet error coins but they also may be just struck on rolled thin planchets. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Report this Post to the Staff
