sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/11/2022 05:42 am My first thought is that it is a 'shed' job, but to prove, need to compare exact weight of a standard 5 Pf with exact weight of the coin pictured. The rim also appears to be turned up in much the same way as a Dryer Coin, but done much more carefully. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 10/11/2022 4:58 pm @chro, it looks to me like this coin has been encased. I can see the extra rim around 5 Pfennig side. You are looking at the bottom of the case, which covers the flip side of the coin in your second pic. I suspect that if you weigh it, it should come back heavy.

Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 10/11/2022 10:26 pm These coins are clad steel, and the edges rust easily (just like the edges of 1943 steel cents). If the case has been there for decades, it's probably rusted-on by now. Almost certainly not worth trying to remove. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
