coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/07/2007 10:56 am A coin for cooper.... Hmmm... could that be for me? Let me guess to see if it fits your coin. Sometimes people take sandpaper to the rim on a Cent. The rim and edge are sanded off and it leaves a gray zinc ring on the border of the Cent. Sometimes stuff get poured/accidentally or on purpose and can remove some of the plating or burn areas to make a change. These are after market errors and only the untrained will get stuck with them and seller runs away with the money flushed away by this transaction. So spend time reading/chatting/posting. It will be one of the best investments in your life on future coin purchases. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/08/2007 4:36 pm Oh, I know what your taking about. when a Copper/zinc cent gets scratched if leaves a rainbow color where the damage is. The copper color is not affected, but were the plating was moved/scratched the rainbow color appears. See that a lot now that you mention it. Report this Post to the Staff
