CanadianCollecter New Member Canada 47 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 8:05 pm There seems to be a white coloured 1974-D penny in this ebay listing. Do you guys think it's an aluminum one, or a plated one? Report this Post to the Staff

d_dob Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 8:16 pm I think it's the lighting. If you use a flash when you take pics, it can really affect how the coin presents itself in a photo. Also, if you look at the other "white" coins compared to the bronze ones, you can see the 74 D Lincoln is much closer to the bronze coins in tone. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 4:53 pm Probably so, but the lack of any flash effect on the coin to the immediate right makes me wonder. But aluminum? I doubt it. Report this Post to the Staff
