That is a nice find. Wish there was a date on it though. Can't tell if it's copper or a zincoln.

Nice find. Did you buy it, or find it roll hunting?

That is a copper planchet. The color is an indicator and you can see the difference if you look at enough of both types. However, there is an easier way- Zincoln OCs will usually have splits in the copper plating around the periphery of the strike.

Great coin! It definitely would have been nice to have the date on it though, but still a great piece!
