[QUOTE="Bez, post: 43424, member: 1027"] Could be a British 2 pence issued after 1992 Width: 25.9 mm Thickness: 2.03 mm They made from copper plated steel, which could also account for the severe corrosion and rusty look. "The first copper-plated steel 2p coins were struck in 1992. The reason for this change was the increase in the price of metals on the world markets. The coins have a mild steel core and are electroplated with copper - consequently they are magnetic." anyway, i have it soaking in vinegar for now, be interesting to see if it comes out identifiable or not.. i doubt it though. Cheers [/QUOTE]
