Better close up pics would help. If it appears have lamination with copper underneath likely a fouree. If you have a local coin store nearby with XRF they could analyze the metal content.

Second, I agree that getting XRF could be useful, but you could also do a specific gravity test yourself if you have a more precise scale.

travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 05/20/2025 7:39 pm I don't believe, it's a fouree . I have a few of them and a few with a black coating on the coin similar to your example. More than likely it's some type of silver oxide/silver sulfide coating. All I know, it's hard to remove. The good news is that finding a "Tribute Penny" in any shape or form is remarkable - Congrats! Report this Post to the Staff
