Nyfireman Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 2:26 pm good afternoon have not posted in a while nothing really good to post about until today. found this silver color 1986 LMC. First I thought plated but I really dont think so. however that being said I do not have a way to weight it but it definitly lighter then a regular 1986 cent. Any thoughts or ideas would be great. I was reading about total lamination but not sure if I understand it right.. Thanks for taking a look Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 4:59 pm I don't see the normal plated over zinc dust. Also search for copper on the edges of the rim and devices. But this might be a real missing plating error. Check to if you see any? Report this Post to the Staff

Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 5:35 pm Im hopeful on this one it does look legit if so nice find but the weight wont help anyway as the plating difference is only .05gram and the tolerance I think is close to .2grams Report this Post to the Staff
Nyfireman Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 5:55 pm If this truly is missing the copper layer does it hold any kind of premium? Enough to have it sent away or just something to hold on to Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/11/2017 6:46 pm Check ebay sold values. I don't think they go for a whole lot so no need to send in for slabbing. John 1 Report this Post to the Staff
