1999 Foreign Planchet

Post by SpudIsCH » Thu Sep 15, 2022 11:24 am

Here is my 1999 Canada one cent, on a foreign planchet. This coin has been struck on a 0.78 gram Guatemala centavo aluminum planchet.

If you are going to weigh coins, you need a scale accurate to two decimal points.
The fact that your silver coin weighs the same as a copper cent verify that it is just a plated cent.
If the plating was missing, it would show as a weak strike.
