JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 11/30/2022 11:20 am to the CCF As stated, a thin planchet, notice how weak the strike is. Might be worth a premium to someone who collects this sort of thing. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 11/30/2022 5:13 pm Give that coin a soak in acetone to get off that hand oil you just put on it by holding it that way. Do it quick before any fingerprints become permanent. (nice find by the way) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 11/30/2022 5:32 pm to the CCF As CoinHi said might be a split planchet. That's a weight of half normal. Need better straight on pics both obverse and reverse. Rolled thin usually isn't this thin. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 03:52 am FYI: you should only hold coins by the edge. I would give it a dip in 100% pure acetone, not standard nail polish remover and then put it in an Air-Tite capsule. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
