<p>[QUOTE="ambro, post: 314926, member: 11143"]Might be viable, main problem with the 43's was that they plated the steel, then stamped the planchets, so the edges were 'raw'. That was the open door for corrosion. Looks like they have overcome that with the zinkers, since the copper plates all the way around. Copper does form a good bond with steel, when antique auto bumpers are rechromed, they are taken to raw steel, then copper plated, which forms a footing for the chrome.</p><p> </p><p>I just want to see that 'billy mays' beard gone from abe and the ol' original 09 head put back. Steel took a good impression, but I have heard it was tough on the coining machinery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
