<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bryantallard, post: 3170060, member: 26727&quot;]pretty sure my story is straight. while I was able to find an example at mike byers site I did not see mention of what the coin actually sold for. as far as &quot;making up&quot; mikes comments... would it make any sense at all for me to say he said something that he didn&#039;t... when I know he is a member here... just to have him call me out on it and make me a liar??? sorry... I am not THAT stupid. as far as why not already sent in... again...short on money. while I tend to over analyze things I usually try to search every possibility. one possibility is that it is counterfeit. at which point all the money I spend will be lost and I will recoup nothing. although... the henning nickel I found I got almost $50 for so if this too is counterfeit...and it being the only example... maybe to the right buyer that wants it... then maybe. but no BS... I paid for my membership on the 20th. takes 7- 10 business days to get here and it will be on the way. at this point I am in it to win it...or lose it. and to answer your question about the pawn stores... I took mikes advice as this was his comment to me in full...</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;1942-S nickel.&nbsp; Appearance and ring indistinguishable from a Cu-Ni alloy.&nbsp; You should follow up with an x-ray flourescence analysis.&nbsp; These days many jewelry stores and pawn shops carry hand-held XRF guns that can provide a first approximation of metal content.&nbsp; Good luck!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>however...every pawn store or jewelery store said they don&#039;t carry them because they are too expensive. I tried finding out if local colleges have metal composition testing as suggested by one member with no luck. I tried contacting heritage auctions to see if they could help with no response. I have been actively trying every avenue before investing money. at this point... it&#039;s the only avenue I have left. so with that said... I hope it has a happy ending.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
