esandweiss Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 9:38 pm definitely a missing clad layer this is a pic of one. worth 15 dollars and up in good condition Edited by esandweiss 06/19/2012 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kman Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 9:52 pm Looks good to me, even though the obverse doesn't have the shine like the reverse at least there isn't any orange pealing effect which would show if acid dipped Report this Post to the Staff
Kman Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 9:58 pm here is an acid dipped I found for comparison. NICE FIND by the way!! Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 10:58 pm Would that be the norm for a missing clad layer to have one side rough and the other side smooth ? That obv. just does not look normal to me as compared to the pics. of an actual one that was posted. Report this Post to the Staff
Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 06/20/2012 02:52 am shouldn't it still have luster? I am not knowledgeable in this type of error...Just a question Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/20/2012 05:29 am I am no pro but Lincoln cents are not clad they are copper plated zinc. The OP's coin looks to be PMD to me. Lets wait for a few pros to chime in on this one. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 06/20/2012 07:14 am As John said the current cent is copper plated. There is no cladding involved with the cent. This cent appears to me to be PMD. I think the plating was removed outside the mint and the one side was polished to try to replicate luster. Genuine unplated cents have the luster visable on the surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
