Actually I found this in a 1950s vending machine along with a 1970 dime and a 48 dime and 1920 mirc dime 

This looks like a potential die clash what do you think. I value your opinions. It looks like it has something imprinted on the reverse. Can't quite make it out.

Yeah I'm sure  going to order it soon have been moving so still trying to get organized 

Well I checked it with my 2021 and weighted it 4 times and got the same thing and did another one it was 31.34  besides I weighted a worn out  penny and it was still more. In pictures. Scale appears to be working but I do agree that I do need a better one. And I weighted 1 that is in better condition.

Thanks I'll check it 

Thanks you guys have been a big help

Is there a place where I can read it online or do I have to buy it.

Well that's awesome I'm going to look at it. Thanks  I really enjoy history and how things work then and now. Not to mention learning new things helps to keep the mind sharp. 

Ok thanks 

I have to say though I am a bit confused by its color  it has a gold  yellow color. It basically is the color of zinc screws 

Thanks for the help always appreciated. 

I found this 1891 one cent that looks like yellow brass even though I know that it isn't. But I do know that there is zinc in them. And when I weighted it. It is lighter than even the most worn out one that is 2.87 and the one in question is 2.80. Any ideas or is this in tolerance?  

You're very welcome and thank you for that.  I really do appreciate the help I get from others and understanding this. You guys have been a good source of education for education for me and even have some fun doing. Which I believe is the whole point in the 1st place. I find things that I am unsure of what it is or if it's nothing. And even though it doesn't amount to anything the coin that I have I still think it's pretty cool having a coin with only 3 numbers. So I say that anyway. Just for the fun of collecting.

Thank you for your insight.

Have a 1925 penny that looks like it's missing the 1 and something is there but can't quite make it out any ideas?

Apmex is definitely reputable.  They're a great place for bullion related coins and things like that.  When I was collecting different coins than I collect now, I bought a few things from them myself.  Usually very good quality and if it's not, they make returns and exchanges super easy.

 Thanks for the info

Occasionally I find a good deal I got this morning a is a entire roll of silver  silver dimes. That came from apmex for 100

That's just TERRIBLE.  Man, Offer Up is giving Etsy a run for its money as far as being the very worst place to ever buy coins.  Things like this should be illegal.  That half dollar is only worth 50 cents.

 Exactly what I told him

Patman.....just so you know, apps like that are some of the worst places you can buy coins.  Lots of rip-off artists and fakes.  I just don't want to see you or anyone else get burned, that's why I'm saying this.

 I already got a fake Morgan. But got it through shipping And denied Acceptance Have been unable to get hold of anyone from offer up. 

You'll love this one.  the coin posted as a 1973

I'm not exactly sure what he is doing He also has Is National Park's quarters on the same post. By the way it is supposed the sounds like he doesn't speak English And it is for all of them. As one. Maybe Couldn't make much sense of it. Went on his page he has ponies and Nickels posted is posted as well.  You could get them for 500.

Seems to me rocks and coins don't go together.  I was just looking through offer up and a person posted quarters. Not to change the subject just found it funny 

Thanks some day 

Nothing wrong with dreaming
