Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 08/06/2012 07:53 am Judging by the porous nature of the coin, I am assuming that this is just badly corroded. Seems to be attracting a lot of intereest though. The listing says it came from a smokers estate and may smell of tobacco. Maybe this was in his ashtray? http://www.ebay.com/itm/20080131767....m1438.l2649 Edited by Smallcentguy 08/06/2012 08:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2426 Posts	Posted 08/06/2012 09:19 am I asked the seller how he came to the conclusion that the coin was copper and his response was"The guy I bought it from told me it was copper." He was thinking about removing his listing until he got a couple of hits. Report this Post to the Staff

t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 08/06/2012 6:11 pm It does not look like a fake. I think it is a normal coin, circulated and that went through a lot of physical abuse and some chemical attack (part of it, dipping solution) For those of us who are interested in post-strike damage, it is a "fantastic" coin. In my opinion it worth ... melt, plus a small premium for the find. Report this Post to the Staff
