@VKurtB, thanks. Nice to read you as well Sir. Yes, I have the SMS Sets and you are correct. In my defense, I didn't include the years below 1970 in my comment. I don't look at my coins much anymore but I seem to recall thinking that the QC standards were severely lacking from around 1979 on with regard to most circulating coins struck. I could be off though.

@VKurtB hi.

70's, 80'd, 90's...heck, I'd like to see a Dime from any year prior to 2000 that wasn't mushy and worn.

Idk? But he sure did act like him and talked about a few of the same coins. Then he left in a hurry. Doesn't matter, I suppose. I hope you all are doing well?

Nevermind. Figured it out and called him out. He quickly left the group so I am sure I was correct. Real name, maybe anyways, is Mark Dalton.

Somebody please remind me what some of Jonescoins aliases are please? I'm about to blow him out of the water on FB.

Totally off topic here, but I didn't want to make a separate post and figured those present here would 'get it'. I think I found our friend on FB. Lol!

Thanks y'all.

@Coinbuf the 2009's are Satin Finished I think is why there is no Lustre. Idk if Satin are supposed to have it or not.

Hi guys. I have never once asked for grading opinions from you, so I hope you will offer your opinions for me today. I've been weeding out my 'collection' and have some that if they would grade high enough then would be worth my sending them in. I'm not looking for MS-68 or 70's, just honest opinions. Thanks a bunch- Karen

Hi guys! Idky that original thread wouldn't allow me to respond any more, but here is the answer I finally got about those Perth Mint Isle of Man Aircraft of WWII Coins I have that many of us were discussing whether they were Silver or CuproNickel. Turns out all this time my Son had a larger capacity postage scale that didn't go into overload when a cup of water was set on it, so I was able to try, and master, the Specific Gravity Test. Oooooo...Aaaahhhhh...lol! And the answer to this long awaited question is....drum roll please...do it...CUPRONICKEL!!!!! And I'm not even upset about it. I am just absolutely thrilled to finally know what the heck they are. Right?! I even made 8 very short, equalling 9 minutes, videos of the entire process in case y'all think it would be beneficial to post them. Otherwise there's an upload of my results in this thread. I'm just so darn proud of myself, and if it weren't for you guys right here in this forum id have never even heard of Specific Gravity much less run the tests myself. I really feel like you all have increase my knowledge greatly and for that I thank you from the bottom of my teensy heart. That last listed one is an old Sternwheel Regatta Token from a festival we used to have here, and I believe my results say it is indeed silver. I never dreamt it would be.
