okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 07:45 am The outside appears to be aluminum .. it was the new craze/find just after WWI. I can't get a pic of the whole thing together, hence the pieced together shots. This was taken with my Digital Blue QX5. Sorry Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 07:58 am I love these things. As a group they tell an interesting social history of the 1900 to 1970 period. Unfortunately the inner coin is generally damaged by the process of making the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 5:04 pm But you don't see very many with large cents in the middle. I've also got a really neat copper hand-wrought dish, about 5" in Diameter and the bottom of it is an 1892 Vicky cent. The cent is the entire bottom inside and out... but my photos are too large to post on here (there's a 200KB limit) Report this Post to the Staff
