<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentrifle, post: 3944170, member: 109289&quot;]In my opinion, your coin is not doctored; at least not in a surreptitious manner.&nbsp; And the coin has a weight variance that is accounted for by the bezel which has surrounded it before being plated.&nbsp; I have a coin of similar genus/species that I was convinced was a mint error--perhaps improper dime planchets struck with cent dies--and it was one my coin dealer couldn&#039;t, or wouldn&#039;t explain to me.&nbsp; Moreover, there was no magnetic attraction to the center of the coin.&nbsp; After some self-convincing and wishful thinking, not to mention a few dollars&#039; expense, the cent turned out to be a bezeled coin that had been plated in zinc or another silver colored non-magnetic metal.&nbsp; I could see the reeded edge that convinced me that a pair of dimes had been pounded together with an off-weight balance; but it was just a sucker coin that I paid too much mind to in a state of wishfulness....&nbsp; Fortunately, it proved only to be a lesson and a little tuition expense for me.&nbsp; Maybe you have something more fruitful, but it looks a lot like the 58 I still have somewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
