How about O.C.


Sounds good.

2 homers is a great start, but Trey Yasavage was amazing.

Time to wrap it up.

Yes I have. The composition isn't fully copper or bronze per se so that's why I went with maybe. If it's possible I can amend the answer to NO because I just checked and my coin doesn't fit underneath either copper or bronze composition.

Q10 - Does this coin weigh more than 3.2g?

YES

Q11 - Is this coin dated 1929 or later?

YES

I'm very sorry if I'm confusing anyone, once again this is my first time playing (let alone being gamemaster) so I'm not sure about a few things still. I'll get used to it over time...

You're doing a good job

The list of compositions on Numista is what we usually go by.

Bronze is copper and tin

Any of those other bronzes have substituted something else for tin e.g. aluminium-bronze is copper and aluminium.

Brass is copper and zinc

Copper-nickel is about 75% copper and 25% nickel.

When someone asks "is it composed of copper" that means just copper. If they ask "Does it contain copper" that includes all the bronzes and brasses and any silver less than 999 fine and any other alloy that has copper in it.

Then of course you have your bimetallic coins and your plated or clad coins.

If your coin appears in the search results when you choose a particular composition you can answer "yes" even if it is the core of a clad coin or the inner or outer ring of a bimetallic coin.

"Maybe" is used for when it could be but is pretty much impossible to tell and/or the field is empty on Numista.

Confusing at first but as you said you'll get used to it.
