trent Valued Member United States 355 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 3:23 pm How is the rim? On nearly all of the silver and gold colored plated pennies I've come across nearly all of them had copper showing through on the rim even if both sides were perfectly plated. Report this Post to the Staff
numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 04/05/2012 8:01 pm Actually the rim looks like a montage of various colors red, yellow, brassy, green, etc. Maybe the light shining off of it makes it look funny. Report this Post to the Staff

spaaz9 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 04/10/2012 2:12 pm I found a bunch of these in a couple boxes recently. I kept the really nice ones, but I guess it's technically PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
