Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 4:16 pm That is an interesting cent @jhillx1. Are you basing the "wrong metal" determination based on the color? I'm thinking that because it is the correct weight, it is much more likely that your coin was just heavily plated in the far past (but after it left the mint).

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/21/2018 4:35 pm Plating is a possibility, but the difference in color may just be a product of the corrosion which produced the texture on the reverse. Sorry, this coin is just damaged, but keep on looking and something will turn up. Report this Post to the Staff
