The early US cents from 1857 to 1864 contain 87.5% Cu and 12.5% Ni, and so have a light yellow colour, 87.5% Cu and 12.5% Ni...  *Peru - 1864 Two Cent (Copper Nickel) - KM-188.1 - Mintage: 1,000,000 (1863 and 1864 combined) Minted by the private mint of Holmes, Booth & Hayden, Waterbury, Connecticut.* References: https://coins.www.collectors-societ...inID=2981431 |

Not sure yet, but I might be offline until Monday. If nothing changes by 4PM EDT tomorrow, Dorado is the winner. If someone comes along with better example they can assume victory. Otherwise, you will have it wait. |

Guernsey coins were minted using British bronze which was always 95.5% or 97% copper.
My coin is valid.

Princetane ..I'm sorry I get the information from: Dorado, it just says Bronze and does not state the percentage of Copper is anything less than 90%. I trust Princetane's source. Quote:

I will, a voting contest here. Very basic, show your best split date coin. This is a coin that was minted over 2 or more years and does not have a single date. Example   Australia Melbourne Centenary Florin 1934/35 - no single year, but 2 actual years. Rules 1. Must be an issued or NCLT coin - no tokens or medals 2. Dates/years must be consecutive, no anniversary dates like 1789/1989 etc. 3. Metal, era, size and country no issue - go wild any metal, size, value or era (As long as we can read it) 4. Dates must be readable, no non letter based script or ancient coins that can not be read by a layman. 5. Preference for coins not from the USA. Have fun. Edited by Princetane
