Apology accepted. 
I just took exception to being taken for an intentional deceiver.
Gets my hackles up. Just let me be less stooopid as I learn here.
Besides, if you have ever spent any time handling really HOT metal you get callouses so one can not discern subtle surfaces.
You, as a percussionist, perhaps have big knuckles  .

I'm so sorry again  and your right This is a learning school because i;m still learning there;s so much to absorb in this field of numismatics my brain hurts me sometimes from trying to comprehend and retain everything. Sorry I do feel bad  .

My Mood: | Drummers! Moving right along ....I tried to find a link to my stepkids space. No Go. I think he's pulled the page since turning 31 a few weeks ago.
Because his name is Morgan, I fixed him up with a few upon Graduation. (Not my really good ones...yet) He was a drummer in a "Physio Billie" band in St Louis. His knuckles are large from doing a lot of rimshots, RAW. Ok...all of him is Large, in a Buff way.
Now he's older. Since getting his MBA, Moved to CO this Spring & has started using the brushes and ear plugs I gave him and dropped his tempo below 257 BPM. And since he's no longer in school now only needs to get a JOB so he can drop out of one of the two bands he is in.
Now, Hopefully he will not bang himself deaf before his knuckles shrink.

I've found the wheats from Post 1943, the ones made from ammo brass during WWII to wonderful in their variety.
I've collected several that are multi-colored. This is my most extreme example.
I had a dream once where a 1944 stuck to a magnet. This one does not.
Any explanations? I once thought post mint solder, but some of the lettering seems to be OVER it. I esp. like the end "T" in Cents.

I LOVE it.
Here's my plan. I get $1000 insurance, mail it off to you, Mike.
Hope it gets lost in transit and I can buy a better camera!
I at 1st also thought it had some crazy glue on it. That was months ago and I started looking at CONICA posts. I've always loved the odd.
And now that I've become more intimate with the coin and the things that can happen to a coin (made from gold/shot into space/abducted by aliens/stolen from the Smithonian/used to buy stamps)....
I need to send this to you so you can write it up for CONECA!!!
It's a no lose deal for me. If I ever see it again I can then put it up on eBay and still buy a new camera.
If you want to PM the address to me I will entrust it to you and let you do your thing and we all will learn.....What could possible go right with this coin?
Sacagawea gets her 15 minutes of fame. I could get a new camera.
Are we allowed to place wagers here? I bet it's a 2000 P Sacagawea.
Dang, I'ld better count the tail feathers 1st! It might be a Cheerio!!!
That would clinch it. | Now discern if the glue was placed before it was placed in a Cheerios Box.

The cent shows chemical damage. Has anyone suggested the possibility that The dollar coin may have had a light layer of adhesive on it?
Thanks,
Bill

Glue has been suggested.
Now, was it glued to a cardboard slab inside a Cheerios box?
