<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2952376, member: 5233&quot;]So, I am trying to understand this coin a bit.&nbsp; Based on what I have read, the coin was a circulation issue with a mintage of about 50 million.&nbsp; The composition was 90% copper, 10% nickel.&nbsp; But, there were also about 12,000 minted in a 25% nickel 75% copper composition which are far rarer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am trying to figure out how to tell these coins apart.&nbsp; I cannot find a weight listing anywhere online for the 25% nickel coin and I have yet to find any proof in photos of a color difference.&nbsp; Sometimes the coins appear reddish tinted but from what I can tell they are often nickel colored as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, what is the easiest way to tell the rarer 25% nickel version from the 10% example?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
