Madigansteven New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/16/2021 11:16 pm I was wondering if you can help me out with this. Until I get a scale I just have this one other to compare to. Edited by Madigansteven 10/16/2021 11:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5238 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 06:05 am Even without a scale, a simple balance will tell you if one is much lighter than the other. The weight difference is significant and just the heft alone should tell you. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 07:28 am to the CCF (1) If it was aluminum, it would weigh less than a gram and would be easy to tell the difference between a copper and aluminum coin. (2) Most of the experimental aluminum coins where made at the Philadelphia Mint, the Denver mm has only two known. (3) If you owned one, it would be illegal to own as they were never meant to be released for circulation. (4)If yours is aluminum, it is probably one of the numerous Chinese Counterfeits out there. correct typo Edited by JimmyD 10/17/2021 10:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
