wilsonwu89 Pillar of the Community Canada 706 Posts	Posted 11/03/2019 11:57 pm Do you guys think this is a foreign planchet or is this some sort of post-mint electroplating job. I should have went to the store and picked it up from him. I AM KICKING MYSELF FOR NOT GOING because he forgot about it and its probably long gone now lol. I dont know why it looks so greyish in this photo. On my phone, it is the same colour as a loonie. Brass. Edited by wilsonwu89 11/03/2019 11:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/04/2019 12:20 am Some pure nickel and copper nickel coins can tone to a golden brass color; it depends on the prevailing environment that they have spent their time in. I suspect that rusting steel may have been close by, and some of the partly reacted iron may have alloyed with the nickel surface of the coin. Not worth anything extra, but still a 'keeper'. If it had come my way, and would have wound up in my collection of Canadian coins. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 11/04/2019 12:16 pm Probably plated. The RCM did not mint brass coins anywhere near that size in the early 1980s.
