Copper is both harder and denser than zinc.
Well, I do look at my pennies. Haven't seen one like that yet, but I'm also guessing it can't be that common. Pretty sure a warped die would get...
I think the coin may be in too rough a shape to say for sure what it originally was. It may be pure damage, it may have been small defects that...
I can't really make that out from the pics. It's hard to tell if there is a whole sunken in area or just a standalone trench. If it's possible to...
Wow, I never even check these for key dates. Hope I didn't throw too of them into junk lots over the years.
Well, there's no real evidence this one was actually made in China or by Chinese counterfeiters. Plenty of these are made in other places by other...

So many others, or just one with a split digital personality? Lol =)
$1250 plus buyer premium would be in the $1400 to $1450 range. That's a nice 50 soles you posted, by the way. =)
And what if that first one sells for a very good price?
I occasionally send one out when I have multiple examples of the item in identical condition. This really only applies to BU coins though....
