True unclad coins- what to make of them?

Boom

Over the years I have collected a few "oddballs" I just took pix of some "unclads". What you see is a well defined coin but, in copper. Anyone familiar with an hp psc 2170 all in one? I use it's photo gallery to do my editting. Just so someone can make out what otherwise would show up as a dark Brown blob I have to jack the contrast up all the way. Even with this I must just nudge the brightness or you'd never be able to tell what you're looking at even with well lit digital photography.

I just kept the pieces because they are different but I understand that a conversation with someone more learned in this area just may be in order here. Anyone have any input they'd care to share on this topic. Just curious....does anyone know anything about this aspect of collecting? I'd bet Mr. Weinberg would know. Thanks.

I have the 2175 PSC ALL-IN-ONE and the only thing I have problems with is getting the cameo coins to show up good and not getting rainbows on DCAMS.

The 2175 AIO has a Photo Gallery. This way I have two choices for editting. The camera's sofware or the hp software. Regardless., if I do absolutely nothimg you cannot see what denomination is in question. The whole point is, we are talking abouut clad coins that are totally unclad (Example- I have well defined dimes nickels and quarters struck on the copper core). Interesting, to say the least. Wondering if there is a market for such "unclads".

One of these evenings I'll finish learning to post pix here but in the meanwhile I do have pix and am able to email them. If nothing more they're pretty interesting to look at.

Fred Weinberg has quite a few coins like that here. The terminology he uses is "clad layer missing" so you can search for that on the page.

Boom

Thanks! Yeah Buddy...that's them all right, except these are like that on both sides.
