If the copper has been removed from the coin - wouldn't it be lighter instead of heavier than a normal cent?
I am kinda partial to the 1883-CC - it's the only CC/CC RPM I have in my Collection.
for some reason I looked through the Morgan Dollar tray at the coin shop today and ended up buying these. What do you think.
Below is a quick glance table based on the WEXLER (WRPM) 1940-1958 Listings according to my files updated as of 5/31/2005. An explanation of each...

Don't think the quality of the scanner would be a big issue. The program wouldn't even use the actual image to make its analysis. The scanned...
Centering of the strike wouldn't make any difference. Since triangulation is based on benchmark points in the design devices. These remain...
