coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 8:27 pm There are unplated coins: There are partial plated coins: There a faked unplated coins: But your coin looks like it was altered. So I'd save it for now until we know for sure. But with so many you tube videos, I gave up trying to out guess them.

vietguy823 Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 8:34 pm @T-BOP Thanks! I have the same thought too. @Coop Thank you very much for your info. I will do a research on the "unplated zinc planchet" that's a term for it LOL. Again, thanks for guidance me. Report this Post to the Staff
