That's what I am saying and you can see it in the photo I posted compared to the OP photo where the details are not on the copper, because they...

Not sure what you are asking. The clad layer is silver colored (copper/nickel) the copper core is copper colored. There is a copper color towards...
I don't think it's a partial clad layer. Even with a weaker strike the details would be there, and they are not on the copper.
Had this been a partial missing clad originally, the copper area would have more details from being minted. But because the piece of the coin that...
The 55-S is not a proof as already mentioned. It is commonly found in good condition. (AU/MS) .50 cents- $1.
First 2 appear to be S's and all the others look like Philly. These coins are heavily circulated, but I think the Peace and the Walker cover the...
I wish we could rate these threads. I am about a 2/10 on this one. Initially I wasn't thinking proof because of the rims. But the obverse...
I go early. When it is light out, but before the sun comes up. It's nice and cool, and not too many people out. Dog walkers usually. One time I...
It's a lot of work. It's not for everybody. But I have fun with it. Most times. Today was fun.
1909 is a good date. Except this coin is destroyed.
Estimated grade of MS-65 means nothing. You can get the coin and it could be a 63 or an AU-58. Let's see some photos. Love the war nickels.
A keeper for sure. I think it's worth more than a dollar. [ATTACH]
Wow. That's hot.
The 1990 no S can only be found in proof sets. OK there is a SLIGHT chance someone cracked it open and spent it, and there's one in circulation....
It's never the rear penny. And that photo doesn't look anything like a 1990 proof No S.
Clad. It's the highest mintage Ike Dollar. 1976 Philly Type 2.
But I promise you, it's the real deal. Never even had a shred of doubt, since this coin can't really exist. There is one known 1970-S US quarter...
Well I find a lot of junkers, but the stainless steel ones are usually well crafted. The tungsten rings are really nice.
