JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21677 Posts	Posted 10/18/2022 5:14 pm to yhe CCF It looks like it is still encased in a bezel, the cent is probably coated with nickel to form some sort of jewelry. What is the weight to two decimal points. Correct typo Edited by JimmyD 10/18/2022 5:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 99231 Posts	Posted 10/18/2022 5:28 pm yep, still in an encasing bezel it covers the obverse rim and just barely on the reverse - I wonder if it could be 'snapped' out like a lens from a eyeglass frame..
