I see copper on the high spots of the bust and what looks like pitting on the obverse.These ombined would lead me to say acid dip but if the spots are just that,spots, then I might send it to an expert.

pitting looks the same as the "92" to me and the rims are still up, not melted down. Maybe I can get someone to look at it.

Then please create your own thread for your coin. It is considered very impolite to wrench the attention from the original poster's coin to one of your own. |

there not the same cents at all. the second one is PMD clearly it was striped but the one you have dosnt look stripped you can see the imperfections of a stripped coin when using a loop you might have one that wasnt plated there not worth a whole lot in the mid 90's but at least its worth something if not a neat piece to have. so at a glance at the pic id say real |

SsuperDdave - I had already made a post about my coin before this was posted. I was just sharing what I had.

Compare the cartwheel on the plated coin to yours. I'm no expert, but I think it was struck that way.  |

Thanks for the info guys, I sent an email to coppercoins aka Mike Diamond to see if he feels like taking a look at it personally.

I did try to email Mike from his profile page here but he does not accept email that way. I will go to the coppercoins website and look for himi that way.

It's pretty clear to me that this cent was plated with a silvery metal outside the Mint. There is some wear at the high points of the obverse design, and this has exposed some of the underlying copper plating.
