1886-1986 Contains Authentic Materials

[Rollem]

Searching is getting boring and this Sears coin comes up, size of 25c.

Coin machine must have counted it as 1c.

Anyone seen this one? or what material might be? Looks copper.
Going to file it with my year of the Monkey coin.

what size is it? is it similar to a challenge coin?

[Rollem]

A bit larger than 25C.

I'll be the interpreter

what size is it?

size of 25c.

My guess would be the size of a quarter

If you weigh it James you might have a better idea.

I've found both quarters and dimes in my cent bags....coin counters have bad days too

I have about ten of those things. I've been meaning to get them up on the Bay and sell them.

Weight won't discern metal content. A specific gravity test is the only thing that will, as it measures weight and mass thereby rendering a density, at which point one can determine specific content.

Copper it is I guess.

No bids at 10 cents.

Whether it's copper plated white metal or pure copper, it shouldn't make much of a difference (sorry to sound so cynical)

The only redeemable aspect of that coin is that it is made from metals that were taken from the Statue of Liberty during the 1986 restoration. Not a valuable coin, but an interesting conversation piece.

I think they get more interest when sold as historical memorabilia rather than as exonumia.

I think the designer of the reverse helped design the statehood quarters
