pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 5:13 pm Wow! I must admit, I do not know, woody. But that 1975 almost looks like it was cast, though why anyone would make a cast copy is beyond me. Acid bath? I don't know if nickel reacts with acid this way or not. Report this Post to the Staff

M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 6:02 pm the first one definately a long period of time spent in water, I find coins like these often metal detecting in the water Report this Post to the Staff
