Paddyman is highly knowledgeable in these types of coins if he says it's not an error, it's probably damage. You could ask Fred Weinberg he's a...
As Mont said the zincs weigh 2.5 grams and the copper 3.1 (3.11).
It's a low mintage NIFC. 1,900,000 minted. As for the clipped planchet that area would be curved in....
The alloy remained 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc until 1982, when the composition was changed to 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper.
When we perfect the transporter beam, people will be complaining that it takes as long as 15 seconds to get something from 3000 miles away.
1920 is a very common wheat cent year, even though it is old. 310 million 1920 Philly minted, without a photo there is no telling what condition...
The error is prob worth more than a nickel. It's not huge, but it's something.
A nickel is 75% copper, so the densities are very close. A clad quarter weighs 5.67g. I was thinking in the 6 range, but that was just a guess....
Not an error. PMD. Not silver. I got a nice one that was gold plated. (Looks better in hand.) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Where's Ed Wood? In Aruba? My first impression is MS. But, I don't like all the chatter on the face and left field. The reverse is weakly struck...
I found the pic with the 1999-D SBA, everything in the pic was in the coin star. There's another dollar coin, a silver Rosie, a wheatie and some...
I'd like to pull a silver Canadian dime (even 50%) but only Rosies so far.
But was it mislabeled intentionally to get more action?
The numericals look really cool. (All nice of course.)
It's a thrill every time. [ATTACH]
If it was on nickel stock, I could tell instantly with my detector. But while a nickel planchet is 5 grams, if the nickel stock was rolled out for...
It is a small date Philly. Needs to be in a little better condition. I'm still looking for the zinc small date Philly.
I think you lose your profit grading them. There's no doubt about what they are. And collectors of these don't need this authenticated.
There's a slight MAD (misaligned die) on the obverse. Worth a nickel to keep it. Notice the double rim on the right side, and the letters jammed...
Nice score today. The 1999 SBA I got earlier this year is a "D" (lower mintage than the Philly).[ATTACH]
