Nice lamination error
and those were not aluminum
maybe the planchet was left over from the year before, or the coin was minted in the later part of 1983
maybe i'll post my essay when i'm done, although, I don't think it's my best
were foreighn coins minted in the u.s before 1984 minted in denver?
NO! dont be sorry, this was really ammusing! Although when my english teacher checks out my citations and visits this website she'll wonder why I...
foreigns coins are minted there,too
Thank you Aidan
I have noticed him doing this quite often.. Citizens Arrest!!!
If if feels like it only weighs a small fraction of a normal penny, then it is aluminum.
The spot isnt the error on that, look at the reeding towards the top.
same here
I hope you dont mind me citing you in my research paper.
My question was in general, not just in Rome. thank you willieboyd2
Doug, I have a lage cent with that alteration as well!
With all due respect, it's a piece of jewlery. I'm sure the jewler buffed it up when he put it in there, and it has almost no numisitc value. So...
The coin is just the gold amount, so the normal "cleaning laws" don't really apply. I use a flexible shaft tool for these.
Try a jewlry buffing cloth. Also there is a liquid product called jewl lustre that you dip it into. THey sell it at walmart.
When did the use of slaves to mint coins stop? I'm writing a research paper on the making of Roman coins and this fact has eluded me for a while.
I had the same feeling that the tone was off. But at $35 it was well worth the risk!
Separate names with a comma.
