bchase44 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/07/2022 4:12 pm I feel silly but I did spend quite a while trying to find this.. I'm also only a month or so in to coin collecting so bear with me please! At first I thought it was "Copper Nickel Clad" Philly ( RedBook).. but since then I've learned that would only be evident on the edge. Then I thought some sort of cameo proof.. It weighs around 6 grams so can't be the silver correct? Also no mintmark (it would be S for proof) I'm starting to think someone did this with marker or somethign (My wife got this from a co-worker after she mentioned I was starting to collect) doctored?
