cldague Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 08/30/2019 10:00 pm This coin looks silver except for the light patches of copper. Did some one do something to it chemically, or is it an error? Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7063 Posts	Posted 08/30/2019 10:18 pm If it was thin/missing plating, I think the exposed zinc would be dull..with the coin having an overall "shine", makes me lean towards environmental toning......? Lets see what others say Report this Post to the Staff

Papadoc75 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 08/31/2019 12:09 pm Once these coins hit circulation they begin toning and rotting. Until they can find a way to make them cheaper with better quality matals this is what our 1 cent coinage will look like. Hey, maybe one day the mint will wise up and suspend production of the 1 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
