Gig99hc Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 11/07/2021 12:27 pm I know that the SMS cents from '64 were all made in Philadelphia. So I know it can't be an SMS. Why is it so shiny? It weighs 3.10 grams Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/07/2021 12:31 pm It is a plated coin. Note the surface is not as shiny as a proof coin. Also it is a 'D' mint, so the surface was altered to probably be sold as a mint error, then it is not. Edited by coop 11/07/2021 1:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19226 Posts	Posted 11/07/2021 12:33 pm Large and sharp vertical images of the obverse and reverse would help better determine what's up. As it is, it appears (appears...) that the coin may have been plated. Report this Post to the Staff
Gig99hc Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 11/07/2021 12:39 pm It's not plated because the plating process would add weight to the coin. It weighs exactly 3.1g. Report this Post to the Staff

I took them all and 2x2'd them to give away to kids. Most of them look better than the OPs. I think it's a normal coin. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
