<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1318908, member: 29239"]I have only heard of one myself and this may not happen very often. I wish I had better photos but I did the best I could and everyone will need to read my description to learm more about this coin. I have seen quite a few alumimum coins on the internet that was struck on the aluminum feeder fingers but only one more with the aluminum fragments struck into the coin. if you folks can ever find one of these now you can know to keep it. this is truely a awesome coin and probably extremely rare. The struck in fragment pieces remain a solid bright white aluminum color while the rest of the coin tones naturally.aluminum is about the only metal I can think of except platinum or gold that will not change colors over time.the little sunken in lines around these areas shows that the die struck them into the planchet during the die strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
