<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 4342368, member: 106826"]Looking at your one-sided coin, it does look like it was ground. But it's a distant shot, so a closer photo would have helped. But as noted, uniface coins are a minting error. I found one during a CRH event and wasn't sure what I had until I did some research. The key was that the coin weight is normal...just less the reverse details. Postage scales are pretty inexpensive off of Amazon or the like, so if you have the means, buy one. But if you have a Popsicle stick, an old AA battery and scotch tape, you can construct a crude, but effective scale. If your coin is legitimate, you can take another copper coin (not a zinc cent) and see if you're coin weighs the same or less. Good luck and welcome to CT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
