[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3540717, member: 27832"]Did you mean to say "metallurgist" here? Otherwise, I'm even more confused. Can you tell us what test(s) he used? It's [I]conceivable[/I] that a cent could be struck on a silver dime planchet, but even that would be 10% copper, and there would be other signs of what had happened. If he was using an electronic/magnetic tester, it was probably just looking for the wrong thing.
