Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 2:19 pm No, it isn't unplated, it is merely a zincoln that has been subjected to extreme heat. I don't know why that turns them grey, but it does. Edited by Rollsearcher37 09/07/2014 2:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 8:39 pm There is a viedo on youtube that shows how to do that. I've found altered ones in circulation before. On the one I found you can see the copper plating in certain areas. Report this Post to the Staff
