<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 658045, member: 112&quot;]When someone is unsure about a coin they will often cut the coin to see what the underlying metal is. Normally this would be done with gold or silver coins, but it&#039;s not unheard of on copper.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not at all, but it is sometimes true. But if you look at that coin, you can see that it is a cut because the metal is squeezed down near the edges of the cut. And it obviously goes completely thru the coin as seen in the pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect that at some point the owner of this coin took it to a dealer, the dealer told them it was fake and the owner didn&#039;t believe him. So I suspect the coin was then cut in an effort to prove it was fake, or real, whatever the case may be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
