ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19230 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 1:12 pm As the photos stand, I'm thinking plated. The fields--when contrasted with devices--just don't look right. Maybe an 'older' plating with some modest degree of circulation afterward. Report this Post to the Staff
St4520 New Member Canada 20 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 1:20 pm It looks like a yellow gold colour. The image is very close to the real thing. Question: Does plated mean not worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 1:22 pm Yes. A plated coin to a collector is an altered coin. Just spendable change now. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/10/2021 9:20 pm Several of the Canadian cents of 2000 on in BU condition are the brightest coins, in my opinion. I agree, your cent looks to be plated. Plating looks nice, but destroys numismatic value. Report this Post to the Staff
