Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 10/11/2013 8:49 pm Is it possible for an unplated cent to be this shiny? It is not pitted like all of the other chemically treated cents I have found in the past. It weighs in at 2.4 grams. What do you all think, is it legit? All help and opinions are appreciated, thank you. Edited by Sudz 10/12/2013 12:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 3:12 pm It looks worked over. I can see a hint of color. The fields are full of abrasion marks. To shiny to be a zinc finish. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 9:38 pm Notice that the normal 1990 in your photo shows cartwheel luster while the coin in question is uniformly shiny. That leads me to believe that your coin has been plated post-mint with a white metal. Report this Post to the Staff
