<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coin_nut, post: 5137539, member: 80148&quot;]An odd coin appeared yesterday. It appears to be a 1906 GB penny in silver.</p><p>Weighs 9.52 grams (9.45 gm). Figures in parenthesis are from Numista. Diameter 30.765mm (30.8), Thickness 1.63mm (1.6mm). So it is a bit heavy and thick, which might account for the extra if it is plated, however the diameter is under rather than over spec. There is a scratch mark at about 4 O&#039;clock on the reverse, which I imagine was to test the metal. It does not show bronze, only silver, though it is not very deep. I do not want to mutilate or destroy the coin in testing. When dropped on the desk top it does have the ring of silver.</p><p>Any ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1205375[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
