Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 12/08/2014 12:36 am Thats a cool keeper regardless. It almost makes me think it was was struck on a 1945 planchet the way it dissolved from the inside. 1944 & 45 planchets had raw rims (no chrome over steel). 1946 planchets are 99.9 nickel. Most interesting PMD I've seen in a long time. edit I say almost because it looks like the rims are chromed from here. Edited by Alexer 12/08/2014 12:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 12/08/2014 12:57 am the inside is literally hollow and it can make a can crinkle noise pushing gently on both sides at the same time lol. I also wondered if it was a plated over something else for it to be this way. Report this Post to the Staff

I've found lots of nice old coins there and jewelry. pm you could be right or at least your idea should be checked if the outcome would warrant it. Report this Post to the Staff
