<p>[QUOTE=&quot;planman2014, post: 2148900, member: 71412&quot;]It is not &#039;negative&#039; answers---it is just being realistic. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will try and keep it simple</p><p>1) The weight INDEED shows it is plating (or toning). A coin made from a different metal or struck on a different planchet should show a substantially different weigh. This coin does not. That fact this coins weighs exactly as it should puts the odds of it being ANYTHING different than some plating or toning (Most likely the latter) is about 0.00001%. </p><p><br /></p><p>I mean come on here people. It weights 3.11 grams and we are seriously considering if it is a 1972 penny struck on the wrong planchet?? Can we stop? The OP has been upfront and honest and seemingly just wants a REAL answer so we can we stop the &#039;there is hope&#039; game? </p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin had weighed 2.4 grams or 3.75 grams then we could be talking something (Still proves nothing but at least leads credence to the idea the coin is something special).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>2) This &#039;coin dealer&#039; means NOTHING. I can give you the name of 2 very prominent coin shops in my state of Indiana who are complete fools when it comes to collector coins. I had to tell one the 1799 dollar they had in their showcase was fake (It was just a bad one I could tell just from seeing it). </p><p><br /></p><p>It means jack that some local dealer who has spent 25 years buying silver and gold and flipping it to refineries says &quot;Oh this coin is rare&quot;. He would have no idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
