RJD New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 4:17 pm Hello all, I found this 1988 D Lincoln Memorial penny in my change last week and thought it looked odd, upon closer examination it appears that the copper plating was never done. I was hoping someone with more experience could shed some light. Thank you for your time, Rick Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 5:02 pm Not to doubt you but are you sure it's the same dia. Looks like a Texas Cent. You can still see some of the plating on the edge and around the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
RJD New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 6:13 pm I used a micrometer and they both mic at 8/10 of an inch. I also weighed them and they both weight 2.4 grams. What would cause this? Report this Post to the Staff
RJD New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 6:20 pm I do appreciate the help, I see what you are saying about there being some plating in spots. This is why I am asking you fine folks, because I do not know enough to say one way or the other. Is there anything I can do to help you figure out what we are looking at? Different picture angles or pics of the micrometer readings? Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 8:08 pm most likely this coin is discolored due to some environmental exposure, such as buried in dirt for awhile (and it's planchet not planchette, even if a female is depicted on the coin) Report this Post to the Staff
RJD New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 9:00 pm Seems to be in pretty good shape to have been buried.but if you think its nothing then ill throw it in the jar. Again, thanks for the guidance. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96674 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 11:48 pm I agree with nick that this coin is just toned. Copper can take on many different colors depending on its environment.
