nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 05/19/2016 09:34 am It may be a mercury coated coin. My suggestion is to dispose of it. Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5393 Posts	Posted 05/19/2016 12:38 pm Agree with Nickelsguy. The result of some science lab fun with mercury . A piece of junk . Get rid of it. Report this Post to the Staff
unruhjonny Pillar of the Community Canada 514 Posts	Posted 05/20/2016 4:21 pm if it is coated with mercury, which as I recall, comes with a serious health risk to handle - can the mercury coating not be safely removed? I mean it's a 1929 penny... some kid out there would enjoy it. Report this Post to the Staff
wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 05/20/2016 4:46 pm Low "9" 1929 cents are by no means scarce. Aside from mercury contamination, a hole has been drilled in it. An undamaged one can be bought on ebay for $2.00 including shipping, probably less from a coin shop. I agree with others, best to dispose of it. Report this Post to the Staff

Any residual mercury can be harmful as well. Edited by MontCollector 05/20/2016 4:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
