axenriq New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 6:33 pm Wondering if anybody can help shed some light on this penny for me. Any and all input is appreciated. Is it an error? I just didnt expect to see that color under what looks like to be copper plating. I'm just still too green within this hobby to know. Ive researched it extensively only to arrive at vague and uncertian conclusions. Thanks for you time. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 78331 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 6:36 pm Some old plating that is now wearing off? to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 50185 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 7:00 pm Could use a close up,but it is not an error. Could be something as simple as paint that is now wearing off.It did not leave the mint like that.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 3408 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 7:41 pm with John, Looks like paint. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 27209 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 7:41 pm Could be solder or something similar. What does this cent weigh?

Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 18351 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 7:48 pm I say it looks like solder. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 18272 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 8:41 pm There is no plating on a1944 cent, it is made of copper. Something is on your coin that happened after it was struck. Just a damaged coin now. Report this Post to the Staff
JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 770 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 8:43 pm I agree, post mint altered. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 12007 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 9:16 pm For fun, try giving the coin a long soak in 100% acetone. Could be an instructive experiment. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 12:13 am Looks like paint flaking off. It's not under the copper, it's over it. Post mint damage, no value over the 3 CENTS wholesale value. ça va bien aller Report this Post to the Staff
