<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Baltimoron, post: 1953545, member: 71554&quot;]Here&#039;s a rotation counter clockwise a few degrees to line up the strong U.&nbsp; Note how the periods match up exactly -- not a feature present in any of the other coins mentioned.&nbsp; Opacity is at 0%, 20%, and 40% in the respective pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]342922[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, regarding the size, the verdigris on the edges appears to be approx a .5mm thick, presuming the rest of the coin has worn away -- dimensionally that&#039;s consistent with the approximate size of other coins referenced, considering the lack of quality control then.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Or we consider the next possibility: The silver-center cent sans silver center reference <a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1792_patterns/1792_judd_01.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1792_patterns/1792_judd_01.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a> since my coin does appear to be an entirely-copper planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Copper&#039;s density is 8.94g/milliliter (cubic CM).&nbsp; If the planchet is 1.4mm (reference from the link below) thick and a diameter of 29.3mm, full size, that pegs the weight of such a coin at approximately 9.44g.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have an accurate measure of the weight because my kitchen scale doesn&#039;t do fractional grams -- it hovered between 9 and 10g before settling at 10, again, not far from the realm of possibility given that the scale is a crappy Martha Stewart model.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to go put together a comparison of the obverse at two different rotations as well for you guys and I&#039;ll post that in a few minutes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, the most compelling is looking at the PXDs and slighting the opacity in and out on various layers, each containing a different rotation and offset that matches features on the face of the coin.&nbsp; The size and weight don&#039;t seem to preclude the conclusion as well, per above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
