That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 04/22/2021 12:04 pm Another way for a coin to become shiny is polishing, which can cause a similar appearance to plating if done well. That could explain the visibility of the copper core. Report this Post to the Staff

STTScott Valued Member Virgin Islands (U.S.) 68 Posts	Posted 04/22/2021 1:07 pm Modern US coins aren't plated. They're struck from metal planchets/sheets whose composition is created prior to being sent to the mint. All the mint does is strike the coins from the planchets/sheets it receives. Any electroplating (like those done to copy "coins" by private companies -- like those you'd see in print ads or infomercials/commercials) would show an even metal over the entire "coin."
