1902 Indian Head Cent On Venezuelan (?) Planchet

The Costa Rica coin is the only possible planchet that will fit the bill. With the story of how that could be possible, and a successful XRF proving the right alloy, you might have enough to perk up the ears of one of the real specialists in the field and yeah, this *might* be something good. I don't want to get your adrenaline going too early, though - this has to be approached logically and with all possible clear evidence gathered. Fair warning, there might be some expense associated with having an XRF test done. Those machines are hideously expensive, the price of a decent used car.

At some point I'm going to hand you off to my co-Mod, vermontensium, who is somewhat an off-metal enthusiast himself. Like, now? STONEY!

No, but they seem to be attracted to you.

Thank you again, I will see whom I can find.
Speaking of decent used cars, that is what we usually do- specializing in used police Crown Victorias, we sell 3 to 4 a month. Not exactly big business, but something we enjoy, they are great cars. If you also understand that they are professionally maintained, they become even more of a bargain. You do have to like white though, since 90% of them in our area are white.
Thanks again!

SsuperDdave et al; I will certainly let you know if I can find out anything.

vermontensium, we used to call those "bubble butts" when they first came out. One of the first rounded cars after all the square shaped ones like the K-cars (YUCK). I also have fond memories of them.

I've seen a few 1940's Wheat Cents acid dipped..this just looked different.
