<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mailman1, post: 1941890, member: 22354&quot;]I found this 1972-D Eisenhower dollar at a Charlotte NC coins show a while back and bought it because it just didn’t look quite right to me.&nbsp; There is a lot of silver coloration in the edge of this planchet and a small copper core.&nbsp; I weighed the coin on my home postal scale and it came up within normal limits at 23 grams.&nbsp; The edge looks to contain an amount of silver (coloration), more than ½ to almost ¾ in some places and the coin itself does not have that silver luster-type appearance that Ikes struck in silver possess.&nbsp; From all appearances, it is a copper nickel clad business strike, but the edge has me intrigued.&nbsp; Any thoughts or information would be appreciated as I am stumped as to why this coin has so much silver coloration to its edging. I don’t think it to be a counterfeit, but I don&#039;t know if this is just a variance in the planchet or if it is a metals trial (gosh I wish!) that was not meant for circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]337351[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]337352[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]337353[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]337354[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]337355[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
