Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 11:39 am I found this 2003 D LMC with what appears to be an incomplete plated planchet. I do not believe this was chemically altered as there are no flow lines, just a fading of the plating. It was well struck and the zinc shows through as a dull gray with no signs of copper anywhere in the crevices of any of the devises. This cent weighs 2.51 gms. Could this have happened during the annealing process? Edited by Jim0815 08/20/2018 11:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75320 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 12:31 pm I'm thinking this coin was burnt. The weight is normal (it would of been reduced, if it was a genuine error coin). It's Post Strike Damage. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
