So Silviosi smart guy foot in mouth moment.

I am 100% certain that there is no copper on this coin I have beaded on her a jewelry eyes an no copper can be seen. Mark Twain probably would find you a fool. You must get satisfaction Out of putting down other people. I would guess you are the tip of person how picks on the handicap trying to look cool an for praise, and validation from the people you think are your friends. When in reality they think your a idiot an talk behind your back but to slow to realize it. So they just use you till your no good to them.
Sincerely
Crowcoins

Ok I see in the new pics that it was a reflection off the surroundings. The surface is to dull to have been a unplaited planchet. If it was unplaited planchet it should have a smooth shiny surface. I think the copper was removed with chemicals.

The second photo show some Cu. Could be the light? It is a possibility.

Now for chemically remove the Cu, Please all who state this just give the solute will do THIS? It is easy to say chemically remove but with what?. The electroplating it is very simple and easy to understand.

The Zinc it is negative and the Cu it is Bi. So the positive ions of the Cu attach to the negative ions of Zn and let the negative Cu Ions outside. Like this the coin will be always negative. To remove the Cu you has to be Einstein to discover the way to move negative ions to positive ions and so broke the stability chains of the elements.

Here the photo which show me CU

Both Zn and Cu form divalent cations, Silvio.

The coin is underweight and doesn't exhibit any mint luster.
Both are signs of a coin where the copper plating was removed.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

One thing to be looking for is mint luster from being struck by the dies.

I don't see mint luster and do see what appears to be staining.

I'm in the PSD group.

Thanks for posting an interesting coin.
