XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 12/19/2008 9:03 pm Today a teller at the bank I work at gave me what appears to be an unplated 2006 cent. I know theres a ton of fake unplateds out there so how do I know if I have the real thing or not. Ill try to post a scan as soon as I can. -XoG Report this Post to the Staff
