Sarge50 Pillar of the Community United States 768 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 7:56 pm I found this and don't know how to check if it is a "Wrong Planchet?" It is very, Very yellow and looks very Bronze In color? This would be a nice hit if it was a "Wrong Planchet" with a payout like the 1943, Bronze! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 8:03 pm Looks like a very nice uncirculated coin to me. Cents of this year were made from shell case brass and have a slightly different color, especially in higher grades. Report this Post to the Staff

Sarge50 Pillar of the Community United States 768 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 9:52 pm What I'm using to take pictures...... I'm using my iPhone, take it to 2:3 settings, then zoom vent into square under a single bulb desk lamp! Coin out of cover next photo! Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7030 Posts	Posted 08/30/2019 12:57 am OK now a quick soak in Acetone to get your oils off it. Unless you washed your hands very well before holding it. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/30/2019 04:49 am Thanks for the new pics. Looks like something is "on" the coin. The rim looks more coppery so whatever is on the coin wore off on the rim? I doubt it is a wrong planchet. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Sarge50 Pillar of the Community United States 768 Posts	Posted 08/30/2019 10:59 am @Greasy Fingers....I didn't realize just holding could put oils on it? NOTE taken, tnx! @John1, I think I will send this in with my next batch to get graded and see if it in fact is a shell casing as @Coinfrog suggested or as you suggest "something on it?"

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/30/2019 11:58 am As far as finger oils go: wash and dry hands before handling coins and only handle by the edges, Wash hands after handling coins. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
