OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 09/12/2012 6:49 pm Is this guy full of it, or does this large cent have gold embedded in it from a cloth used to clean the dies? My vote is BS. I think it's a plated then stripped coin. http://cgi.ebay.com/110951196511 Report this Post to the Staff

iraqandroll Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 09/12/2012 7:00 pm So how would he know that a cloth in 1846 had gold particles on it? Rediculous to me. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 11:45 am Sure, it is possible for gold flecks to be struck into a coin of another metal. However, it is just pure speculation without XRF data to back it up. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/13/2012 11:14 pm I agree, this is just a "I see something gold colored and going to call it gold" type of things. There is no way to tell its gold without actually testing it and I believe you would have to dig it out to actually test to see if it were real gold or not Report this Post to the Staff
