coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/03/2018 11:54 am I think this one has zinc added over the copper. Note the rough surface? Note how the tops of the devices are smooth. That tells me it was altered and then circulated. If it were really missing the plating, then the fields would be smooth. Note the top example of a non plated zinc cent. Report this Post to the Staff
