The 1996D Lincoln was quite possibly struck on a genuine unplated planchet, I see alot of luster that would not be present with a post-mint plating job. Unfortunately, the lumps on the reverse appear to be the onset of zinc corrosion  Edited by biokemist6

Nice collection. Thanks for sharing.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The blobs on the steps and columns on the 1996 penny give me the feeling that it is indeed plated, but I guess ig is possible that they are die chips.

Fun stuff indeed Quote:
This is a weird, scratched out, steel plated, copper Wheat cent I have a 1944 somewhere that had solder applied to the back - almost like whoever did it was trying to "plate" it. The scratching on yours reminds me a lot of the one I have (who knows where!). How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
