Mercury is BAD stuff, and I think it will emit poison vapors even when amalgamated with silver. Especially in children (Or any young mammal), it can cause serious brain and nerve damage. If you're going to keep it, seal it. or cover it in sulfur, which will react with the mercury and form a much easier to handle compound. Bruce |

Any help to find out if you don't know would be helpful as well. Thanks. Do you have an image? It could be a non plated lincoln cent or it could be a lincoln cent struck on a dime planchet. It could also be an altered lincoln cent that someone either painted silver or someone dipped it in a solvent and it ate the copper plating off. How well does it work to take the opposite tack and give a penny a little silver plating? |
