pictures without the bag. Its possible my phone camera is altering the image. Do people re-plate zinc pennies and put back into circulation?

I don't know if it was reprocessed or not but it definitely came out of a penny roll I got from the bank.

*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

I can't tell if this is a standard deformity or if this is a mint error.

I was thinking about sending this 1943 steel penny out for grading, hoping to get ms68. Do you think I should try?

I've been looking at different metals for my entire life. It doesn't really look like platinum nor silver. If its silver, its not plated the same way as other silver quarters were, the finish is more matte like. Is it possible to plate with metals other than platinum or silver?


This coin here I know looks for sure nothing like the one I have

yep, the copper core and the outer cladding heats up and expands at different times and speeds, thus separating the 2 different metals.


Yeah but the diameter of my coin remains the same. Is there something I am missing here?

Whether you can duplicate it or not it is not a mint error,it does look like damage caused by heat.

I just watched a video of a quarter being heated and it expanded outwards. Here it is

5.67 grams +/- .227 grams is the standard weight for a quarter, so your coin is well within mint tolerances as to weight.

When coins were composed of precious metals tolerances were much tighter and many more would be routinely melted and remade because being over or under weight just a little bit was much more costly, but now that it's a copper & nickel alloy over a copper core they are much more tolerant of a little weight variation.


Ah, I see. I guess the only way to know for sure is to bring it to a jeweler to get tested. Thanks for your insight.

Blobs on both sides of this Connecticut Quarter. Any idea what kind of error this is?

Most likely plated with either silver or platinum after it left the mint. John1


I have a good eye for platinum, its definitely not platinum. It's possible to be silver plated, but the weight doesn't make sense.

Yes if the edge doesn't show evidence of cladding then perhaps this coin was plated. Can you please check to see if a strong magnet is attracted to it? Thx.


Magnet is not attracted to coin. If the coin is plated why would the weight be under a standard quarter? Apologies for the double post. I am just figuring out how this forum works.

The edge is exactly like the rest of the coin. There is no copper visible.

My dad gave me a 1999 Delaware Quarter that he found years ago. Upon first glance, it looks like aluminum. However, it is too heavy to be aluminum. Could it possibly be a 100% nickel error? Or perhaps it is 100% zinc? I know its not silver. The weight is 5.5 grams.
