They get really banged up through repeated payouts. The second is a lincoln cent which has seen a sander. I say this because all of the high points show the zinc core. Yes the cent is only copper plated. It has a zinc center which a few people will only believe once they've seen it. Hence the sanding. __________________ Of course this is my opinion so think what you will and say what you wish, Its your right.   11-28-2005, 08:13 AM   #3 (permalink) chocho Senior Member     Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: deep in Kentucky Posts: 227 I thought that about the penny , but wasn't sure... but the nickle, it looks like it has extra clad on it..built up over the edge and date???   11-28-2005, 09:41 AM   #4 (permalink) satootoko Retired   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 5,822 Quote: Originally Posted by chocho the nickle, it looks like it has extra clad on it..built up over the edge and date??? The effect of repeated dropping on edge in slot machines (or vending machines for that matter) is similar to the effect of ">> spooning <<" the coin, it just takes a while. __________________ Roy   11-28-2005, 10:25 AM   #5 (permalink) chocho Senior Member     Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: deep in Kentucky Posts: 227 Gee I would have never even thought that could have been from using the coin..Looked so real to me, I went to see, "Oh, No It Ain't ...!!" and you were right... thanks for the information... cho cho   11-28-2005, 05:09 PM   #6 (permalink) smithrow1 Senior Member     Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: HYde Park, New York Posts: 272 Under the neck (nickel) @5 o'clock it looks like there lamination problem.
