Thank you all very much!
Spence, I'd say it's copper-plated zinc, based on the fact that split plating doubling is occuring.

Ok sure--I can't really see that too clearly in your pics, but I'm sure it is visible with the coin in hand. A quick weight measurement would of course confirm. Either way it is a super pick-up. Well done!

Ah of course, measuring the weight...  sometimes I really am quite stupid. It weighs about 2.8 grams (I'm assuming the Cud adds a bit of heftiness). I had to zoom in on my microscope to see the split plating, I couldn't see it very well in my pictures either haha. Thank you very much!

$10?! That's a crazy good steal! This is probably a $50-$60 Cud IMO.or more! It's huge! Congrats on a superb pickup! -CH27

The Cud should not have added any weight. John1

I think it's fair to say that this coin is worth a little bit more than I paid for  Quote:i sold two about the same size on ebay for $185 Wow! No kidding! I do think this coin might be 2x2 worthy haha! Thank you all very much! Oh also sorry about that John, I reweighed it after reading your comments and now it weighs 2.45 grams, had to recalibrate my scale! Thank you very much Coop, very informative!
