A picture of the reverse and side, if possible better and sharper pictures is needed.
Plated as titled for now.

You'll have to describe the color, shiny silver, dull silver, yellowish gold, reddish yellow. This will determine metal plating. Nickel does have some magnetic pull(slight) tin/manganese, no. Zinc, none but is duller grey. Coated coins used to be high school science projects, back when they actually taught something!

looks like zinc plated for some reason - nickle would probably be more shiny and actually may stick to a magnet as pure nickel is highly magnetic. Canadian 100% nickel coins jump to a magnet.

It's a dull grey. Ok, just like your pictures show then - I'll stick with zinc plated. And I don't know why! I don't know why anybody would waste time and money plating a cent with Silver, and like I stated before, nickel plating is as shiny as chrome. Edited by Mark1959

Heyyy Crazyb0 we actually still do learn stuff  I did this as a lab in my chemistry class two years ago we removed the copper from zinc pennies and melted others to create a gold color(brass) I wish I could find where I put them  |

Buckwill, not in the schools around this lefty run town, they're too busy developing safe spaces and designing new bathroom signs for any concern about academics. My poor niece guit her teacher's job because of what she's been "required" to teach, for now she's evaluating final year student teachers, she's able to "recommend for graduation" one out of five. Sadly, all do graduate(UMC Columbia), ya know, the participation award (Diploma) is given to everyone.  Edited by Crazyb0

I'm sorry Crazyb0 - we ain't supposed to follow up but you are totally correct!! Plus I ain't got nothing else to do tonight cause the Indians/Yankees game was rained out - so here I sit making stuffed peppers and mashed potatoes!! |

OOOPS! I guess I melted too far!! I think so Mark  I don't believe that the copper shaped crescent is even a coin!! Crazyb0 a lot of the kids my age don't put effort into school anymore. They think it's a joke. Teachers practically hand us passing grades on silver platters and half of them are too ignorant to take it. In order to graduate all you have to do is show up and pay attention at least 10%of the time. Kids still don't graduate because they think there too cool and cut school to do drugs. It's those kids that make teachers look ineffective and force schools to "require" them to teach a certain way. |

Any none-damaging methods of testing for zinc?
