biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 2:01 pm Is it soft? the darkness coupled with the bright scratches leads me to think it might be lead. Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 8:11 pm One side looks like a planchet (upset) and the other side looks like it was a blank (not milled) Maybe a War Nickel planchet with some PMD Report this Post to the Staff

ctguy Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 11:50 am I'm not at home to see if it's magnetic but did find a few extra pics of the planchet at work. It's actually sitting in the open 10x loupe to help it stand on the side. Report this Post to the Staff

ctguy Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 08:54 am The planchet is very magnetic, maybe a War Nickel planchet? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 3:08 pm War Nickel planchets are silver, not steel. Its not a plug from an electrical box is it? The pop out that was in a box? Report this Post to the Staff
ctguy Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 3:43 pm Coop, No, not a pop out I'm old enough to remember when they only came in metal, much to smooth on the edge and nothing that looks or feels like an attachment point or bur. It feels as smooth as it looks rounded on one side flat on the other with a beveled edge. Rings as iron / foil on a MD, I'm wondering if it's an old weight for a ceiling fan even though inside me wants it to be something else, the MD rings no coin. Any other ideas? If not then back to the oddities pile it goes As always thank you for looking and offering assistance. Report this Post to the Staff
