[QUOTE="I Like Trees, post: 285704, member: 10463"][b]Rainbow Nickles[/b] Fascinating. I never noticed circulating coins marked by collectors or knew that people did this. I guess since I didn't know what to look for, I may have not realized. I've had a theory that I've never tried to confirm, that Vegas casinos mark coins. I often find nickels especially (They still have nickel slots right? Or am I out of luck? [chuckling on the inside]) that seem to have the entire obverse marked in some weird color like bright mink. It looks like clay to me. the low points seem to be filled a bit, but I suppose that would just be the color wearing off the high points. I also often find cent covered in green clay on one side. This is definitely modeling clay by my estimation. Does anyone know of casinos marking coins? I mean I know they mark decommissioned cards (if thats the term) to prevent them from being reused on the floor, but why mark coins? Does [I]anyone[/I] know what's going on here?:rolling: [CENTER]~[/CENTER][/QUOTE]
