on the obv. there is a crack that runs thru the bottom of the portrait. These are copper-nickel pieces.

    I love old toned coppers. I can anly imagine how beautiful that must be in real life.

    I love those coins!!! Does anyone know the exact metal composition of these coins? I'm asking because I have one and it too seems to be more copper-colored than normal cu-ni coins, which are white.

    All the Krause says is " copper-nickel ". This coin is flat lite gray when looked straight on.

    The color on this coin just rolls with light, all underlying and subtle, and very nice.image

    Nice coin! The only ones I've seen up close were cleaned and looked similar to cleaned copper-nickel flying eagle cents.

    Are you working on a set of New World Victoria cents and half cents? That would be cool to put it along side Maritime Province coins and other similar issues.
