No Cash Value Tokens

[McKinney_5900]

I have this token I found using the Manticore. It reads a good 74 and is a perfect small circle on the conductive line. So, what metal is it? Does brass measure these numbers of 73-74? No cash value is self explanatory yet it sure is a solid high conductive VDI Thanks.

It could be brass over nickel

Most are made of brass, but some others are copper & nickel.

Seems that the VDI of 74 would be unlikely for a base material being nickel.

The best ID for a 74 signal on the Manticore is on a US one cent, I assume copper.

Easy test for nickel.

Nickel is magnetic.

So grab a strong 🧲 and see if it sticks.

Your token is brass.

To clarify the 85/15 composition.
It means 85% copper 15% zinc

A standard yellow brass as what many items are made from.
Zippers, shell casings, pocket watch cases, stamped brass.

I have tested if with a magnet, not magnetic.

I should correct the previous post.
70/30 is shell brass, and the other items I stated.
Sorry for the error.
