spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 03:44 am How much does it weigh (coin only, obviously) and can you post a pic of the reverse? Is it magnetic?

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 07:54 am I agree with Spruett. Weight and magnet are a good place to start. I hesitate to say it's plated. Most plated coins I come across have details muted somewhat. That LMC has crisp sharp details. Note that if you don't want to remove the coin from its holder weigh with it then weigh an empty holder. Simple math gives us an answer. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

It may have gotten out of the mint without Being plated. It's also in pretty nice shape. Fingers crossed! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
