algol Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 01/18/2010 3:32 pm Found this searching a brinks box this afternoon. I'm assuming its a slug/toy money. However it does weigh 2.5 grams. The rims are a little wider then a normal penny, but its diameter is slightly smaller. It is not magnetic either. Well just thought I would share. I've never seen any penny slugs like this in rolls before. Brinks needs to step up there quality control. http://img130.imageshack.us/g/91slug1.jpg/ Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/19/2010 8:49 pm 1. A piece of toy money would have to say COPY on it. 2. Most of these are plastic...not metal. 3. Nobody in their right mind would make counterfeit modern day Lincoln cents. NOT cost worthy at all. Report this Post to the Staff
hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 01/20/2010 12:42 pm I would have said this coin has been encased rather than a dryer. How can you tell the difference? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/20/2010 12:59 pm The rim is exceptionally thick and folded over on the peripheral devices along with exposed zinc, tell-tale signs of repeated tumbling in a commercial clothes dryer. An Encased Cent would look relatively normal except for a groove or crimp around the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
