Brings back memories of years ago when I bought a couple rolls of dateless (at $3/roll) and hung out in the chem lab with a bottle of 90% HNO3...
Your new pics confirm @afantiques response. England George III most likely a half penny (looks too big to be a farthing in your first post) The...
@IBetASilverDollar . Thanks for sharing your story. I feel for you. But to cheer you up, the coin you won looks very nice.
I agree with Super Dave. Be professional and courteous on you initial email. Give the seller a chance to make it right. (I'm making the...
Somebody with knowledge of error coins suggested your 1975 cent in the original post was struck through cloth? I agree with your "huh" statement....
Nice find. The slight offset cutting is not considered an error and, if anything, actually reduces the value a little (assuming it's a crisp Unc)...
@bryantallard . Just a word of caution, Don't get hung up on the weight you measured. You showed that your scale doesn't have the accuracy so...
Maybe CT is getting boring if this is what passes for a witty and clever comeback. Where are the good trolls when you need them? Ed Wood?...

Geez! At least be smart enough to not admit that you posted something because you were bored and wanted to liven up the place for your own...
FYI. It's usually better to start a new post if you're question is different from the OP. People will see the title and you're likely to get...
I'm happy we were able to relieve your boredom. However, next time, please post to another forum like Trolls-R-Us.
@James26 Even without a picture, it's nearly a certainty that the coins have been plated. Pretty simple science experiment....
Great idea, but you're only 25+ years late. A company called Compugrade tried this in the early 90's. There were a lot of write ups in the...
@Willysilver . Love your perseverance. You might want to try googling the variety your trying to find and compare the images to what you've...
If you weren't that interested, then why did you ask?
Even though I think it looks silver, in order for yours to be genuine, there would have to be multiple major errors * A 40% clad ingot would...
Try doing a web search. I was looking for the very same info recently and was able to find a complete list with dates, denominations,...
