some computers you can go to start, all programs, accessories, then to snipping tool. if that doesn't work try right clicking the text, copying, and then paste it on your postvastik said:Hi Crusader,
I didn't know that I could post them here. These are Microsoft Word documents. I thought all I could post was photos on here.
Do you know how I go about posting these documents on here?
Johnnyi... are you doubting the posterjohnnyi said:"and I'm not supprised to find out there was no adhesive on the back I never thought there was"
Silver searcher, if you believe the gray mounds clinging to the inside of the botton two scored lines are "patina" then I've got a really nice bridge to sell you"

I think I mentioned something like this in the acient coin thread...about not to judge things from pictures it just gets you into trouble vastik is the item defenetly Tinvastik said:Johnnyi,
There is nothing in the score lines. The metallurgy reports have magnified shots. I will try to upload and post the link tomorrow.
Another thing, you can download the photo on your hard drive and blow it up to have a closer look. I just want people to be open minded about this and not jump to conclusions and be presumptuous. We are all curious about this piece. If you think I'm pulling some kind of stunt, then go away and don't bother with this post.
I am here because I am curious. I am not interested in playing games, nor do I have the time in my life for doing such things. As for "my" other posts and descriptions, if you are talking about the website, that is not put up by me, it was put up by the actual owner of the coin.
It might take time to ID...but we will get there in the endvastik said:SilverSearcher,
Yes, to the best of my knowledge. I have asked the owner if it may perhaps be pewter, and he said no. He said the metallurgist at the University of Toronto told him it was definitely tin. Neither one of us is an expert on metals, so I guess we can only rely on the reports. I do not know how to read the symbols on the reports and so when I post them on Facebook I really hope someone can read them and explain them to the group.
Thank you for your open-minded, educated questions and opinions.
Like Mack said, Pewter can be 99% Tin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pewtervastik said:SilverSearcher,

It looks machine stamped but I need to see the side view.
I thought it appeared thin but didnt want to say yet but since you mentioned it. Like someone said, the image is showing on the back side.vastik said:Yes, I will try to obtain some side-view photos. I have seen the side of it and it's thin, no inscriptions.
