CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 12/04/2017 09:42 am The coin is not copper. You can tell the softer Zinc was used because of the overall weakness of the strike, and how the coin looks. From your photos, a lighter color can be seen which is typical of the Zinc cents when the plating starts to wear away. I also see no evidence of any doubled die. Please be patient with the people on here, and please keep language clean. Edited by CoinCollector2000 12/04/2017 09:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 12/04/2017 10:22 am to the forum! Can you post the weight of this coin? I think a Copper plated Zinc cent would taste just like a solid Copper cent, because the outside of the coin is still Copper. I hope you washed it off before you tasted it. I have seen some nasty looking cents floating around in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
