<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 404618, member: 12159&quot;]Yeh, most likely solder marks on that 1887 5 cent piece. This coin is about a hair width short of 15mm across, and the weight is a hefty 1.2 grams. In hand it looks a lot nicer than that humungous picture. Because it isn&#039;t a special collectible I am considering trying to remove the verdigris and dirt so it doesn&#039;t continue to self destruct. (boy is that statement gonna start a riot here)</p><p>I haven&#039;t found out much about the coin yet, except it appears to be a type of circulating commemorative coin about an event in 1821. </p><p>I will keep searching and report back if time allows and I find anything new.</p><p><br /></p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
