Found something pretty awesome! Please help me out.

Ok, you tell me, what sounds more accurate.

The coin has a weak strike
or
The coin has a weak smoosh

Ya see, strike could mean "hit", or could mean miss as in "strike out" Smoosh tells you exactly what it is.

Some people debate over whether they should strike their child.
but nobody thinks they should smoosh their child.

I'll stick with strike. Smoosh could be too easily mistaken for smootch. If i tell my kid to clean his room or I'm going to strike his behind, I don't want to be misunderstood.

 

not to dash any hopes here but iv seen a nickel exactly like this. Notice where the Rim would normally be, in the case of the one I saw, it was milled/machined, without the rim it was about half the thickness of a normal nickel. Dont know the weight of either but it looked identical to this one. I could be wrong though, my hope is that it is something unusual. Good luck

 

I vaguely recall seeing this before, but thanks for posting again. Very interesting.

 

I got one like that in circulation once, even thinner than yours. Could be an acid soaked coin

 

A silver test kit would be quit cheap with tile and it would be so easy to prove if it was silver or not (as said before). Instead of dropping the acid on the coin you make an ever so slight swipe of the outside of the rim to transfer a slight color of the coin on to the tile. A drop of the acid on the tile can, by the color change, determine the percentage of the silver by the color changes.
He is a smart one (hmmmmm) by posting it as such as he did on Ebay, then here; he is hoping to get more potential bids IMO. A test kit with tile runs from 9.00 to 12.00 bucks which he may have already, but by doing what he is doing he could potentially earn more

 

Two year old thread.

 

Ahahaaa that's what I get for working a double shift!!!!!!

 

Seem like a lot of old-postitis on the board today
