 to the CCF Do you have a caliper. Measure the od. There is a little copper left under the date at the rim. Might be a Texas Cent. |

Cujohn. The copper color your referring to is a light bouncing off my wood panning walls. I'll upload a few other pictures. ijn1944 I'm sorry but I'm not sure what your reply means. I've only been coin hunting for a few years an we all know there's so much going on with coin errors and varieties, and I don't have all the window down I would say.   |

@cujohn, while the OP hasn't given us a diameter, in the group pic with other cents, this one looks to be the correct diameter or at least close. I don't think that this is a Texas Cent. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I see the Cooper. So this coin was boil in an solute to has this color.
Second for all the folks here: The electroplating zinc core with Cooper could not be engineering reverse. So it is no way to take out the Cu.

Stil not sure how you can consider the copper color that you're seeing on the corn to be copper plating at all when if you look at a different picture of the same coin, there is no copper coloring anymore due to the fact that it is us from the light reflecting off my wood paneling walls creating a copper colored glare unfortunately on a picture or 2
However I am 100% positive that there is no copper plating or color of any kind on this coin. This has been looked at under a decent jewelers eye and no copper can be seen.
However, I am not arguing that in the end, most likely, I will find out this to be chemically stripped ext. I do believe there's enough reason for me to continue researching. After looking at the links shared with me I not sold that this is damaged. I will try an get clearer pictures an under a scoop.
Thanks

So Silviosi smart guy foot in mouth moment.
I am 100% certain that there is no copper on this coin I have beaded on her a jewelry eyes an no copper can be seen. Mark Twain probably would find you a fool. You must get satisfaction Out of putting down other people. I would guess you are the tip of person how picks on the handicap trying to look cool an for praise, and validation from the people you think are your friends. When in reality they think your a idiot an talk behind your back but to slow to realize it. So they just use you till your no good to them.
Sincerely

Ok I see in the new pics that it was a reflection off the surroundings. The surface is to dull to have been a unplaited planchet. If it was unplaited planchet it should have a smooth shiny surface. I think the copper was removed with chemicals.

The second photo show some Cu. Could be the light? It is a possibility. Now for chemically remove the Cu, Please all who state this just give the solute will do THIS? It is easy to say chemically remove but with what?. The electroplating it is very simple and easy to understand. The Zinc it is negative and the Cu it is Bi. So the positive ions of the Cu attach to the negative ions of Zn and let the negative Cu Ions outside. Like this the coin will be always negative. To remove the Cu you has to be Einstein to discover the way to move negative ions to positive ions and so broke the stability chains of the elements. Here the photo which show me CU  |

The coin is underweight and doesn't exhibit any mint luster.
Both are signs of a coin where the copper plating was removed.

One thing to be looking for is mint luster from being struck by the dies. I don't see mint luster and do see what appears to be staining. I'm in the PSD group. Thanks for posting an interesting coin. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
