Does anyone have any feedback? It looks like possible missing/damaged clad. Either way its a nice looking coin to my eye. Thank you * It also weighs exactly 2.2g
Clad coins contain Cupro-Nickel. After a long time of Environmental Exposure they tone into a dark copper color. Here are examples from my Metal Detecting finds. It also occurs on Nickels also made of Cupro-Nickel.
Missing Clad layer usually only occurs on one side of a clad coin. Here are examples from my collection
Thanks One more thing for you to consider. A dime can't be struck on a blank Copper Cent planchet because it won't fit into the Dime Chamber to be struck. It width is larger than a Dime planchet. Then it would be the same size size meaning width, thickness and weight of a Cent.
Not copper but clad. It was dropped onto the ground where is remained for some time. It's called environmental damage. Welcome to CT.
@paddyman98 you change you avatars back!! I know you where trying to annoy somebody else on the forum but it was driving me crazy with that dam dancing chicken... lol
By the way, how is it going for you out in NY? Meow would be terrified to even take a walk outside there. Meow lives in a lower risk area, but still puts on the nitrile kitten mittens and covers up the whiskers when going to amass more rolls.
