Got this in a lot - 6.65 gms



This may be close to mint state. LOL
Somehow I rather like it.

    For a 2/3 size planchet that is a lot of metal migration from the rim!

    I did get the weight as above, the size really essentially the same as above. Actual expected penny weight is 9.4 gm, the half penny 5.6

    6.65 gm.
    30.5 mm.

    Not for sale, but I wonder how much such a coin would go for. There is an error specialist with a pseudo-magazine that likely would be looking for a big number I would imagine at least for sale but not on the buying side!

    The more I look at this coin, the more I like it. It has character, and this is from a year that the mintage of pennies went into the hundreds of millions - and yet it stands out. I wish I could get rid of the light green oxidation on the QE II bust, but MS70 and one other commercial coin solvent did nothing and a light acetone treatment also made only minor difference. Don't want to monkey with it too much!

    What about a soak in hydrogen peroxide? My experience is that it very slowly, over several days, removed surface contaminants with no change to current patina. Peace Roy

    Yea, that might be a "no harm, no foul" method! Thanks.
