Canadian: striped off the top layer and rusted, thined out quite a bit. No toneing American alot more rusted then canadian, deep holes. Shiny yellow toneing with dots of purple. Im kinda surprised that canadian took it better then american. I thought american coins are alot more beefer then canadian. Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/05/2015 10:11 pm Wait I'm a tard, I was thinking u were taling about steel cents for some reason. Yes I have used zincolns. You don't really get the solid zinc showing through but it can show in the center and ends as a very slight rainbow ish type look and overall bright shiny almost pinkish copper Edited by Cascade 04/05/2015 10:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
