<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3105067, member: 66&quot;]The XRF result posted appears to&nbsp; a screenshot of something D Carr posted about a copper plated steel cent on a different forum, not the OP coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>One interesting thing about that posting though.&nbsp; It gives an indication of how deeply into the coin an XRF test penetrates.&nbsp; Since the copper plated cent was basically pure copper on nearly pure iron, and since the percentage results were pretty much even between the two, it would appear the test penetrates abut twice the thickness of the plating.&nbsp; If it went deeper the iron content would have been higher, and if it was strickly surface or nearly so the copper figure would have been higher.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
