Can you post some pictures of it, and what does it weigh?

 

Or possibly a planchet.

Someone might have messed with it. Back when I was in high school in chemistry class, the teacher showed us this neat trick that works best with clad coins (it works with nickels too but gives it a brass color instead). First, heat up a clad coin with a torch until it glows red. Then, quench the coin in blue windex. Once it fizzles and then cools down, the whole coin will be a copper color. I don’t know what actually happens chemically or physically.

 

Today's wheat cent score...

Notables...

The '37 looks burned.
The '56-D looks much better in real life, it may have been cleaned.

 

Nice finds!

 

Have one more box of halves left, but went through one box of quarters and one box of halves the last couple weeks. Half dollar box was a skunk, quarters box yielded a 2018-S Everglades and a 2019-S AMP. Still looking for the Lowell W and Missions W

Found my oldest wheatie tonight! A 1917 crappy condition but a keeper anyway. Actually it’s the oldest coin I have ever found CRH.

 

I like those books! They are kind of along the same lines as mine:

 

Was doing 1 last roll before giving up and ran across this. Looks like a grease strike through , but i'm not seeing the usual ripple "orange peel" surface I do with greasers. No hint or outline of a 4th number that I can see either.
Also it appears to have a LARGE die crack across the back. Both ends are copper color while the middle is white. I'm stumped.

 

Neat penny!

 

Dont got a scale accurate enough to weigh it and wont be home in a couple days i got 2 of them and ill take some pictures.

 

I commonly search boxes of one cent, five cent and half dollars with moderate success but decided to search a box of dollars for fun. I did not separate by mints (too much trouble to look at the edge on Presidential/N.A.) Here's the results:

My wife and I live in a RV and have to do our laundry in the Rv park or local laundromat so I got 10 rolls of quarters before we left Indiana. We are in Texas now and I went through the rolls yesterday. some '17s, '18s, no '19s but 1-1964 D silver.

 

Nice mix of Presidentials. Hang on to the Nixon, they are hard to find. In fact, @Cheech9712 was so kind as to send me a Denver Nixon so I could complete my P&D album!

 

Picked up 4 boxes today (2 Loomis & 2 Brinks). Would have gotten 6 total, but one bank missed my 2 box order this week.
On the heels of a 3 ender box last week that included a Barbender and 31 total silvers, I found no silver enders in these boxes. When I told the wife, she said “Bumender!” I think I’ll use that going forward, lol.

 

Picked up this week's boxes:

2 boxes of half dollars:
Box 1 - 3 Enders, 6x90%ers, 26x40%ers
Box 2 - 1 Ender, 2x90%ers including a 43S Walker, 4x40%ers, 76S Clad Proof
Total - 8x90%ers, 30x40%ers, 1xProof
7.33 oz Ag

 

2 boxes of quarters gave up:
Box 1 - 1xLowell "W", 2x UK 10p
Box 2 - 2x Canada 25c

 

Good luck!

 

Nice haul!
