levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 04/12/2019 12:07 pm Good day CCF. Looking for opinions/comments on a 1948 LWC that may have been plated. The weight is 3.16 grams. No caliper on hand. Opinions and comments are much appreciated. EDIT: Magnetism seems weak. Edited by levelsofmadnes 04/12/2019 12:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 04/12/2019 1:37 pm Thanks Coinfrog. The coin belongs to a banker who had questions about it. I asked to borrow the coin to post hear at CCF. Even thought my eyesight is terrible, I figure it to be fake because she put a magnet on it and I could tell off the bat the magnetism was weak. I did enjoyed posting the coin; something different. Once again thanks to everyone who has commented. Report this Post to the Staff
