Looks like something from "Alien" but soooooo cool

 

EXACTLY! Complete with the corrosive insides.

(No, I won't ever pass up a chance to gripe about copper-plated zinc coins...)

That one's definitely worth preserving.

 

Awesome coin. Would this coin have been struck on top of another Planchet due to the lack of design on the reverse?

 

Yes, I think that’s the reason of the uniface.

 

Thanks for the sharper photos, Rick. Nice double struck.

 

"uniface 2nd strike"

 

Now, how to "preserve" this considering how much zinc is showing.

 

Acetone rinse, nitrogen-flushed vial, flame seal?

 

Or in a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnals porch...

 

I notice the double struck coin has become your avatar, Rick. Would you consider slabbing it to preserve the coin?

 

Slabs aren't airtight, so I'm afraid they wouldn't do much to preserve this coin.

 

Rick, you are not allowed to create your own errors.

 

Great looking double struck Rick! Wish si had found that one.

 

For now, I'll store it in a cool dry area ..

 

At least in a 2x2. Wonder if VerdiCare would help... @BadThad
