spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 7:13 pm I guess I'm not in the know. He has a lot of very cool stuff listed. Unfortunately, they're all way out of my price range.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 7:13 pm Wow! Yet another back door job. And unlike the 1970 dollars struck on gold he had listed a while back, it's not subject to confiscation. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 06/02/2017 8:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 7:34 pm I have my doubts. Krause lists the 1978 - 89 nickel 50 Cents thus: weight 8.1 grams, diameter 27mm. Nickel has a density of 8.88 g/cc, copper 8.93 g/cc, gold 19.32g/cc. I will assume that the coin in the slab is 18ct gold, density is about 16.7 g/cc. The coin in the slab, IF the same thickness and diameter as a standard nickel 50 cents, SHOULD weigh around 15.1 grams. It doesn't; it is reported as weighing only 12.1 grams. If pure gold, then the slabbed coin should weigh even more, at around 17.6 grams. SOMEONE need to correct me if my doubts are unfounded. Report this Post to the Staff
AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 7:51 pm If you read lower in the listing it says that it was .999 gold.... So my best guess is it isn't the same thickness... Report this Post to the Staff

darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2426 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 10:50 pm I have seen this one around before. It's quite obvious that it had a helping hand in becoming what it is. The only problem that I have with this coin is that its not in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
