Sébastien New Member Canada 41 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 7:53 pm I just found that nickel in a roll, I would like your opinion about it, could it have been struck into a wrong planchet or something like that or is it just "rusty" ? Report this Post to the Staff

wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 8:47 pm Sébastien SPP is referring to an XRF machine which he has access to (lucky bugger), and that would definitely tell you what the coin is made of.. Report this Post to the Staff
