I have a 5 cent piece that is the same size and weight as an old one cent piece. It weighs exactly 2.58 grams and it’s diameter is about 17.5mm..
The weight is exact, but the measurement was taken with an ordinary ruler, so it’s as close as I could get.
It has no serrations on the sides and the echidna is also only just fitting into the coin, it’s… Continue reading

Tarnish On Silver Coins?

I have purchased a number of new mint silver coins over the past few years - silver eagles and Canadian maple leafs - and today I noticed that a few have started to tarnish, turning black in places, even though they appear to be sealed in their original mint plastic envelopes.

I have a silver one dollar US coin dated 1804 with Da Qing Zao Bi Chang on the edge, is it a counterfeit?

The coin was bought in Dubai by my father-in-law and given to me as a wedding present.
