Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 8:19 pm @thor, first welcome to CCF. Second, that cent has been plated after it left the mint. You can see the underlying copper in that gouge on the rev rim. I think someone took a knife to it to confirm.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95644 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 8:24 pm I agree with spence, just plated coins. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 8:31 pm Well not fake as the cents were issued by the mint. It is just that someone plated it to make it look like a mint error.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 8:40 pm Actually people used to plate pennies to use in jewelry. But this one looks more like someone was using a soldering gun and solder b/c of the various lumps here and there. But the pics are also a bit fuzzy so not easy to be sure. However, it is all post mint damage and not worth anything extra. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 8:50 pm @thor, I've been moving your pics of the second coin that you posted to a separate thread. Please only post one coin per thread. Thx.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/31/2022 12:18 pm Looks like paint on the coin. You can see the copper on the worn off paint areas. Just an altered 1944 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
