Makes me question the entire cent....I'll hold off comment till others come around.....can we get the weight, diameter and will it stick to a magnet?..... to CCF Edited by Greasy Fingers 01/15/2020 01:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/15/2020 02:00 am Greasy, perhaps the rim is bright from wear? I agree it stands out. No mintmark indicates the coin was minted in Philadelphia. The fact that it appears to be all zinc means it has somehow lost it's copper plating. How? Who knows? Environmental conditions, most likely? Chances are it didn't leave the mint in this condition. We see a lot of these here. I wish I could tell you more, but I don't know if anyone really knows. If it was the result of a mint error, maybe it would have some added value over face, but I don't know how you could prove that on a circulated coin. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
