coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 12:39 pm If the plating is removed, then it is damaged. Or it could be something on the coin if raised. Either way it is face value. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 12:41 pm It appears that the copper layer has been worn through. As time goes by, I think you will see MOST of the post copper cents still in circulation will begin to look like this. I find some recent cents very corroded. It really hurts to see the Lincoln Cent reduced to this fate. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 12:43 pm I have a question about the process, is the planchet copper plated before, or after it is struck ? Dan Report this Post to the Staff
