ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19171 Posts	Posted 02/11/2024 06:54 am At this point, I'm thinking plated. Full, large and sharp pics of the obverse and reverse would be very welcome. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 02/11/2024 07:06 am @mark, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you please check to see if a strong magnet is attracted to this cent? I agree that it likely was plated after it left the mint, but we might be able to narrow it down a bit with this additional information. Thx.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/12/2024 4:44 pm to the CCF With the coin being underweight, I'm thinking it's been mercury rubbed. Either way, not an error. Report this Post to the Staff
