elverno Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Nice Thanks. Weird color though isn't it? At first I thought it might be a copper counterfeit but the weight's correct.

From what I've read a lot of "strange" colors come about because the metal used in the planchetts wasn't produced to exacting standards and so there are contaminents present to start.

They're really too heavy to carry more than a few in your pockets, at least without pulling your pants down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
