<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3847941, member: 106826&quot;]I think that our fellow enthusiasts have offered a reasonable explanation but I always suggest that a collector pursue all questions to their certainty.&nbsp; If you feel that you have something, keep the fair challenge out there to the community.&nbsp; Given the weight being slightly higher than the typical 2.5 grams, it might suggest that rather than remove plating (the copper) the coin was plated.&nbsp; From what I see, this doesn&#039;t look like a plated coin outside of the small copper circumferential band on the outer rim (perhaps where the individual attached a wire).&nbsp; Many local coin shops can test for metal composition, so you could take it there to have a definitive answer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
