MachinMachinMan Pillar of the Community Australia 1985 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 12:00 am This is my "collection" of US coins found noodling world coins in Australia. Not a single coin that isn't junk. US 1 cent coins are pretty flimsy these days... Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 12:46 am Philosophically, In the case of base metal coins, not much different to Australian junk. When it comes to junk silver, I don't mind which : US, Australian, British or World. What is important, is that I can buy for below ASW spot, usually as a collateral buy in amongst target coins in an auction lot. In some cases, junk silver acquisitions obtained in this way are a no cost bonus. Opportunities like this don't happen often. I think that almost all silver accumulators have a vacuum cleaner mentality, if the opportunity presents itself. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 04/30/2023 09:23 am Hey, you might want to look for this one - It appears that it could be a clipped planchet. Collecting since 1972.

It does look a cleaner cut than the rest of the broken 1 cent coins. Unfortunately since I took that photo I have bagged the coins up, so it will not be a straightforward task to find the specific coin again. Maybe one day when I've got nothing better to do...
