<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 105436, member: 4552&quot;]Absolutely do not throw away that coin. You could start an error coin collection. I collect error coins and counterfeits. You would be surprized at how many fakes there are out there. They are fun to find and collect. I&#039;ve even got a lead half dollar. As for yours being a fake, one way for sure is to get a balance scale and put a copper coin of the same date on one side and yours on the other. Balance scales can be purchased at places that deal with chemicals. Remember the old Gilbert Chem sets. The bigger ones came with a balance scale. If they are still around the scales sure couldn&#039;t cost much. </p><p>Then there is the famous popsicle stick and a round pencil. Find the center of the stick, glue it to the pencil and it becomes a balance scale. I collect the 1982 Lincolns and the only way to tell the copper from the copper plated ones is with a balance scale. A worthy investment if your a coin collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
