<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 321781, member: 112&quot;]Tell ya what, post a pic of just the coin you think is sintered. But post pics of both the obverse and reverse so we can see the color difference you mention. I ask this because on my monitor the coin you are asking about is the normal color.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To answer the question of the others - a sintered coin is one where a thin layer of copper is deposited on the coin during the annealing process. </p><p><br /></p><p>Planchets are placed into an oven to heat them up and make them easier to strike. In the oven there is copper dust left over from all the planchets that contain copper. And sometimes this copper dust gets deposited on planchets that are not copper colored and makes them look like they are copper colored. That&#039;s about all there is to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
