themaineway Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 09:14 am Im not an expert, and I hope I am not right for your sake, "my opinion" due to the bag marks, plate lines out of back of head, and other factors, but mostly the mirror finish on the lower part of the rim of the last picture you supplied I am going to say a "freshly" 3-4 micron thick rhodium plated cent. rhodium is expensive but very common in plating jewelry (or just about anything) as so little is used. it is extremely hard, and holds that mirror finish. most any jeweler "should" be able to tell by actually looking at the coin in hand if it is rhodium plated. Please let everyone know what you find out, as it is a very interesting question and is a great learning experience for all of us Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 11:10 am Quick rinse that cent in acetone! With the way you are holding it in that last picture if you don't remove the skin oils, acids, and salt from you fingerprints the zinc surfaces will probably be destroyed in a few years. (This is assuming it is a non[plated cent as I think it is.) Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 1:53 pm The oils & salt from our fingers can etch into the surface of any coin if left there long enough leaving a permanent finger print & permanently lowering the value of a coin. try holding them on the outside edge of the rim Edited by jasper62 03/10/2018 1:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
StaceyLynn0113 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/12/2018 2:17 pm Hi everyone Took it to a coin and bill collector and he said it was a regular Philadelphia penny that someone had plated to make it look cool. Not worth anything. Sadly lol Report this Post to the Staff
