ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 04/22/2014 12:59 am While it is likely plated, there is a possibility that it missed the original copper plating and would thus be a mint error. The only way to tell for sure would be to see photos of the coin in question, though. Welcome to the forum joemrben! Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/22/2014 10:02 am If you had a accurate scale you could weigh it. If heavier than should be, probably plated. If Lighter, probably had the outer plating of Copper removed or made without it. If no scale, make one. Take a popsicled stick and ballance it on a pencil. Place another penny of the same date on the far end and yours on the other end of the stick. Not the most accurate method but usually works. Report this Post to the Staff
