mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 07/25/2011 2:54 pm I'm surprised you didn't get yelled at by some of the folks on here. There was a thread about doing this to nickels last week or so...and some people were really upset that someone would put a coin in the oven. Anyhow, I'm also wondering how it tastes?! ;) Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/26/2011 8:52 pm You have to assume that any purported unplated Zincoln is altered unless you can also see luster, it is too easy to fake a dull dark silvery appearance. Report this Post to the Staff
Bowfin Valued Member United States 296 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 2:17 pm If you're sure the coin never exceeded 400 degrees, all you did was soot up what ever was on the coin. Clean it off and the copper will still be there. Copper melts at over 1900 deg. and zinc melts at over 700 deg. The metallurgists and chemists on this forum can correct me if I'm wrong. But, if you did manage to get it hot enough to melt off the copper, you would have vaporized the zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
