SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 10/04/2018 12:04 am Congrats on 1000 posts!! There are no brass coins of that weight (plus or minus .3 grams), that were minted by the RCM in the early 1970s... 3.1 grams is still within Weight Tolerances of a normal cent. Are you sure this is not a high-school science experiment? _g_ml8tAnWE "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 10/04/2018 12:44 am Certainly not a high school experiment. The colour is right in hand for yellow brass off metal. also be it brass or what ever composition it is, this one is not common based on research I'd love to see this go out with a bang, So SPP you wanna xrf it?
