Nyfireman Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 4:14 pm Good afternoon I came across this 1986 LMC and have looked and looked to see if I can find any copper with no luck.. Working with metal everyday it really just looks like zinc.. Any thoughts ? Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Pillar of the Community United States 4959 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 4:58 pm Yep, it's zinc. Looks like its been environmentally striped of it's copper layer. Yhe mottled blotchy appearance leads me to this conclusion. May have been buried at some point in it's life (in my opinion). ça va bien aller Report this Post to the Staff

spruett001 Bedrock of the Community United States 11359 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 6:46 pm Interesting. To be honest, I don't know how to tell if a circulated coin was struck without plating or if it was removed afterward.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 54539 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 6:48 pm Agree, probably stripped. Report this Post to the Staff

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1323 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 9:35 pm Yes it does. Weigh the coin https://www.coinworld.com/news/prec...nghouse.html Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5136 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 9:48 pm Just a curiosity idea. Considering the bubbling on a lot of these coins, it seems to me that it would be easy to heat one up and have the copper cladding flake right off. Describe it as if there were no picture.

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1323 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 10:02 pm Zinc melts before copper. Problem with this coin is I cant really tell if it was stripped or not from the pictures. The surface looks roight in the picture but I vould be wrong. Most likely stripped. Stripped or unplated would be underweight. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 48662 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 1:24 pm Usually if it were plated over the copper, these years would show roughness because of the zinc under the plating: The fields should be smooth.
