unclescratch New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 11/07/2024 3:10 pm I have found in rolls an SBA and a Sacagawea both on the wrong planchet. The SBA is manganese and the Sacagawea is nickel. Have you folks found this to be at all common among what's out there in circulation? Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 11/07/2024 4:56 pm My guess is that someone dumped pop-pop's stash of "tribute" coins from Parade magazine ads. Would an XRF gun give a proper reading through plating? It is more intended to read solid bullion metals, right? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15409 Posts	Posted 11/07/2024 6:10 pm Unusual indeed - but most likely plated post mint. Good call to set them aside as oddities. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
