[QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 4108895, member: 110020"]You guys are more encouraging than you know. I whine too much, but this forum has been the best therapy I've had yet. Be honest with me if I ever cross boundaries, though. I have this thing that's pretty obviously some vending or carnival coin, but can anyone tell me how to absolutely know for sure? It's more solid material than others I've come across, has some weight, and from the little bit I have learned it may be copper or close to it. As certain as I am that it has no value I don't want to toss the first coin ever made by accident. Note: I stand by my promise that if I ever do find the Holy Grail and become a billionaire I won't forget everyone here who has helped me. I'll look through some genuine errors/varieties I have and slowly spoon feed myself with everyone's help as soon as I'm healthy enough again. Thanks again. Oh! One last quick question: if I ever find an MS70 1943 copper penny, do you think hydrochloric acid and a military grade flame thrower would be overkill cleaning it up?[/QUOTE]
