Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/13/2017 10:02 pm @Mrzllewellyn, it could be that someone stripped off the copper plating leaving behind just the zinc core.

Redifin Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 09/13/2017 10:05 pm Copper plating stripped off using chemicals and electricity. It's a chemistry expirement in high school/college Chemistry class setting. Edited by Redifin 09/13/2017 10:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 09/13/2017 10:15 pm Underneath them holes - that's what your picture shows! Realistically you should throw things like this right in the garbage and spend your time on credible error coins that are actually worth a few cents. JMO.

Redifin Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 09/13/2017 10:19 pm Look, it's obviously not from the mint. Watch my video, it's a science expirement. It's either zinc over copper like Mark said or copper being stripped to reveal zinc underneath (like I said). Report this Post to the Staff

Redifin Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 09/13/2017 10:31 pm @crazybo- sorry, didn't think about little johnnie and providing him with material And @OP, it's 'matte' becuase of the subsequent circulation after the expirement. Report this Post to the Staff
