Hi John,
We don't get many zombies here, the cold winter seems to kill them off. As for bending coins to test for plating, I don't buy it. Gold and silver are malleable enough that they are not likely to crack when used as a plating. Otherwise all our silver plated spoons would have no silver on them anymore. Not to mention that it is far easier to rub the edge of the coin on something abrasive to see if there is another color underneath.
Always a good read, CG

Nice article John but I thought the coins were bent so they could be carried with a string or on a string

The coin is bent and touches the obvers or revers and the string is threaded through the gap,
many coins were worn on the string and when they needed a coin they just undone the string.
