coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 12:05 am Looks like a normal 1997 cent from what I can see. If it were a dime planchet it would be silver in color. Also the clad would be showing. Edited by coop 08/05/2013 12:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
coinfox1 Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 12:14 am Thanks for the input coop. Check this one out..its not really silver looking. You don't see the silver looking spot on mine? Not saying mine is but it is definitely missing some copper on the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
BenjaminsBaby Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 01:36 am i see what you are talking about with the color coinfox but that is not what I was looking at if it were struck on a dime planchet it would be cut off somewhere and be smaller notice how the bottom is cut off and how close the edge is to the L in liberty in the graded coin...ima go with coop on this one and say it just looks normal to me..maybe some plating issue but the picture is hard to tell...have you tried weighing it...i do not know but I'm guessing the weight would be a lot different than a normal zincoln Report this Post to the Staff

coinfox1 Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 10:45 am Thanks Benjamin and Coop! I'm just begining to learn all the basics of recognizing errors and post mint errors. Thanks for all of your patience. I do see what you are talking about. The coin weighs 2.5 grams. At this point, I would go with a plating issue as you said. It has a very neat look in hand. How would you guys recommend I take better pics of this one? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2013 1:31 pm The only thing I would improve is the image size. 800-1000 Pixels width works better. More can be seen on the image. Image quality is fine. Report this Post to the Staff
