      And why would you do than? You have been given the correct answer for your coins. There is no need to check for silver because it isn't possible for your coins to be silver. Just a word of advice. We are here to help you with any questions you may have. In my opinion you are trying too hard. Everything can't be a rare or priceless find. Just keep searching and you will find something good.

            Pictures of the coins I referenced won't be of much assistance. What Jason posted is a rather dramatic rolled thin planchet, in most cases unless a coin is under 2.5 or 2.5 grams it won't even show a good deal of weakness. The majority of underweight planchets I have are between 2.6 and 2.9 grams. The ones that are really underweight, as low as 2.2 grams of copper bear a striking resemblance to Jason's image, but are circulated.

            Here's a slabbed example of one of the coins I have, and the price is due to it's high grade, not just the planchet anomaly: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=380531946539

                Sorry if you took what I posted the wrong way. It's just sometimes new members on the site tend to think everything they find is valuable. Alot of the varieties like the over dates are rare to find and don't generally show up in circulation. I again apologize for my comments being taken in the wrong way.

                  Nah its cool, im not trying to offend any of u guys. I know youre all right and have great knowledge on these coins, thats why i wouldnt be here if yall didnt. I might say something and pls dont take it offensive. Sometimes i just wanna experiment myself, that way i know as well, doesnt hurt to gain knowledge by doing this. Sorry if i came out the wrong way as well. Btw since this coin is useless i did scrape it with a knife too see the metal more clearly and its copper haha.
