<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 8363846, member: 4920&quot;]Before that was a coin or even a planchet it was a blank that was struck from a long plated strip. When those strips aren&#039;t entirely plated the ends are copper resulting in the copper on the blanks and later on the coins. The shape of that discolored area is the giveaway that isn&#039;t the copper core.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
