Chriscook813 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 05/24/2020 4:59 pm Can you add 1.5 grams of plating? Report this Post to the Staff

Chriscook813 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 05/24/2020 5:04 pm Seems a bit stupid to plate a worn penny. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5673 Posts	Posted 05/24/2020 6:37 pm Plating a coin adds a negligible amount of weight, certainly not 1.5 g of additional metal. Are you sure the weight is accurate compared with other bronze cents? Report this Post to the Staff
Chriscook813 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 05/24/2020 7:25 pm Most definitely. I checked this over and over again because I couldn't believe it myself. 4.6 every time and all others 3.1. Report this Post to the Staff
Chriscook813 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 05/24/2020 7:28 pm That much plating would not only make it thicker but would fill in most crevices, in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 05/24/2020 7:35 pm get your coin xrf'd, then you will know for sure. If it was struck on a gold planchet in 1900, I would have to venture a guess someone else would have put this coin away.. Report this Post to the Staff
Chriscook813 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 05/24/2020 7:46 pm Thank you, I Will, Now the very interesting thing about all of this is that I got that from a lady who's grandfather was a collector and I believe they sold all his stuff after he passed. This coin obviously somehow didn't get sold. It was amoung some of his war metals.so... I'm still excited to find out. Report this Post to the Staff
