llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 5:20 pm I never considered journals in numismatics before but it seems like there are quite a few: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...tic_journals Maybe try one of those? Report this Post to the Staff
Gallienus Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 10:02 am Seems quite interesting as those issues saw steady debasement from the 1820's to the 1850's & 60's. Can we discuss exerpts here? Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 11:23 pm John - I would like to read what you discovered about the debasement. Report this Post to the Staff
colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 09:34 am Few appreciate these pieces due to the involvement of Pb, Cu and Ag in their coin metallurgy. Needed more advanced instruments with more powerful capabilities in terms of Lower Instrument Detection Limits but proved my points in most cases. JPL Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 02/15/2019 5:11 pm Interesting topic, John ... These are a popular series, you'll definitely find an audience for this. Keep in mind, can be VERY hard to distinguish genuine very crude mint product from contemporary counterfeits with these... ESPECIALLY on the 8R denom. (4R are usually a bit more obvious, genuine vs. CC). Report this Post to the Staff
colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 02/16/2019 10:42 pm I purchased one that was extreme underweight but its XRF assay or metallurgy was identical to the others so to me it was regal. From Hartford Coin. With the crude striking dies and the high lead deposits in the alloy creating fissures and voids it can be difficult to ask - what is really a CCC piece - in my opinion. The weight variations in these planchets are VERY EXTREME. JPL Edited by colonialjohn 02/16/2019 10:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
