I would have to see the coin. Is it a 1982? There not that hard to tell. I have a couple. That drawing doesn't help much a picture would give me a better look. Thanks Mike

To each his own I suppose. I have no problem telling the difference but many do. I see people explaining it with some of the most complicated details that people get even more confused. For me this is the most obvious place to look being as it is part of the date and the 2's are so dramatically different. So when I was asked to post it I did. I have had many people say that this drawing made them palm their own forehead because after seeing it they didn't know how they didn't notice the difference before. So like I said, to each his own.

Tell me about it. I would love to know exactly what it was struck on. Im reading up on different planchet flaws and annealing and alloy mixtures for the last month waiting on these.

 

You'll figure it out. Maybe some foreign coin that we still make or even just some employee screwing around.

Thanks for doing that 

Lol! I had asked for a link to the original and then went and found it on your page but they wouldnt let me delete my comment. So it is what it is. I'll be going to weigh all my Ikes now. Lol! Congrats on your find. That's pretty amazing. Be nice if they tell you what it was struck on in your paperwork.

Please help with this one my coin dealer had no answers for me as well and 6 different scales.  One coin dealer metal testing machine even showed a hence bit of gold. But this one is tricky

What is that you are using there?

I found it.

OUTSTANDING! Enjoy. That's pretty cool.

Dangit! Still won't allow me to react. Thank you, Sir. I am fairly stoked over it all.

I think so. Here they are side by side. I was looking for a Falus Fas but it is a Dirham. Makes all the difference, I suppose.

@JKK?

My good luck charm walk in and I think this is the same but a different year? So it wouldn't be a Fas or whatever.

I would figure it out for you but without weight and diameter it is problematic.

I don't have a way to get the diameter. Do you know what Morocco was before it was Morocco?

What was it ?

Yeah, I thought I had it, but I can't find any that go back as far. I thought it was a Moraccan coin from 1820-1821 and I still think it is from that date but whatever was Morocco before it was Morocco. I have looked at 10,000 photos and can't find one prior to ah1261. So idk yet.

Woohooo!!!!   I'm just going to chime in and congratulate you. Wow that is amazing. I feel like you have made it to the Hall of Fame and I am starstruck right now. 

Lol! Thanks! I am kinda starstruck myself.

Congratulations !!!         Your coin searching has paid off.

It's always nice when a fellow forum member can have a coin attributed.

Thanks man. I'm pretty stoked. I loaned a girl $1 and she got it back as change!

Considering how inor most class VIII doubled dies are, that one is VERY impressive.  Now with that reference would one of the TPG's slab it as the discovery coin?

Oh gosh, idk? I was just gonna have my friend Jon slab it for me and make some kind of display with it and whatever letter I get. I never thought of it as being a discovery coin. That makes it sound so much more important. And thus has me all smiley again. I think I am too big for my britches today. Lol!

Yeah, I believe you got a few late 1950s rolls from me at some point. I hoped you would find something cool in them. I had those things forever with the intent to look at them but never did. I’m glad to see you’re still going strong. I think it is very cool to have your name linked to the attribution. 

I do love the Nickels. They are the coin I find the coolest errors on. Honestly I still have 2 rolls unsearched. Same year and Brian's list for the year wasn't complete. So far there are like 50 listed! Lol! But now that I know some more I will definitely be sorting them before I do any more Lincoln's. Also, 1 roll was full of the same DDR accompanied by varying degrees of either Major Reverse Laminations or pretty severe Obverse Cracks, some with both. I mean nearly every single Nickel in the roll! I figure because there were so many they likely aren't valuable but I was amazed at them all being together like that and they are all in my Nickel binder. Tomorrow I will pick the most severe and send you some pics. Heck, I'd send you one of each if you'd like. So until then, baa-bye! -Karen

Ah! I've used up my reactions for the day. Thanks a bunch C&M. Didn't I get a bunch of Nickel rolls from you a while back? Maybe? It's been a while, maybe not.

Yes! Yes! Bob. I think that comes pretty close. Lol!

I think we need more bananas to equate to my level of excitement, Bob. I know it is such an obvious DD but it is still my very first Attribution and since I can't decide what it is I want to focus on with respect to collecting I am happy to have something to distract me for a few. And it took less than a month to receive it back and was my first 2019 Nickel of the year. Well, my only one so far. Thanks for your encouragement, kind Sir. 

I hate deteriorating dies. 

Yeah, the guy yexted me back a couple of days later and I told him how I woild just hate to wind up a souvenir token from Disney. Haven't heard from him since. Smh. Idk what I'd do without you guys.

Well vinegar is acetic acid (in water), and it reacts with copper to form copper acetate, which is water soluble.  So what do you think?  Is that drawing out the "natural properties" enough?

I got the attribution on my Nickel!!!

I got it Y'all!!! I did! I did! I did! I got my name in lights. I'm so excited right now. I saw where USPS had a package coming Friday but I hadn't ordered anything and figured out it had to be my Nickel. And the anticipation was killing me and I thought, wonder if it would already be on the website? And it was. Whoop!! Whoop!!! Does this mean I'm not a Newbie anymore?

Got it! Thanks.

Hey, I wonder if somebody can identify this for me. Or tell me if it is even a coin at all. I found it and have Google Lensed it and come up most often with Mughal, but can't find anything just like it. Thanks a bunch.

It can't rust but it can corrode. Rust is just corrosion on iron, thus can only apply to Fe. Most metals can corrode; on Cu corrosion typically shows up in teal. On Zn, typically in whitish grey (and it's butt ugly, as anyone who has collected Third Reich coins can attest).

Ok. Thanks for the clarification.

No. Might have copper confused with potato chips.

Hmmm. Somebody said so. What would cause a Copper Wheat back to rust really bad since copper supposedly can't rust?

Does vinegar and salt draw the 'natural properties' out of the copper?
