Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 05:37 am Must be that time of year for plating experiments in school, There must have been questions about a half dozen of these on the various forms in the past week. Usually they only come along about once every week or two. Report this Post to the Staff

DaSlayer Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 04/05/2015 1:21 pm The coin is cool. I would keep it. Either the copper was removed by some type of acid or it's plated. Report this Post to the Staff
