<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdb1950, post: 37141, member: 1735&quot;]Here&#039;s a thought from left field.&nbsp; It still bugs me that the reverse also shows weakness in the strike just opposite the flat hair and around the lettering.&nbsp; If the obverse die was filled with grease, then the reverse should still be fully struck.&nbsp; I&#039;m only partially convinced that there was grease on the reverse, too.&nbsp; Judging from the depth of the rim around the flat struck hair, it looks like it was struck with plenty of pressure to strike up a normal planchet, but what if this is not a copper plated zinc planchet, but something harder that doesn&#039;t strike up as well.&nbsp; Can you weigh the coin?&nbsp; Does it weigh 2.5 grams?&nbsp; Is it magnetic?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
