Teabaggindragon New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/21/2022 6:39 pm Hello I am curious if the forum could help me decipher what tragedy bestruck this coin or perhaps if somebody used chemicals to remove the plating or I'm not sure what else could have happened to it. all of the devices seem very strong it doesn't seem to be any chemical where on it so to speak and yeah I'm just kind of stumped as to what's going on with this coin so please help. Also it weighs 2.5 Edited by Teabaggindragon 09/22/2022 11:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 09/21/2022 6:58 pm @tea, first welcome to CCF. The weight seems right—thx for including this info. It looks a little like there is some gold coloration in your pic. Is that accurate or is it actually grey? Thx for the clarification.

Teabaggindragon New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/21/2022 7:02 pm Under microscopy it appears a golden but without the aid of ocular mechanical advantage it appears to be a darker almost silver like toning ...sort of that greyish toning Report this Post to the Staff
Teabaggindragon New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/21/2022 7:12 pm It could be a function of the poor lighting I have as to the golden hue. I can submit some other pics if I must for a firm identification. Even under a higher mag. Let me know. Also thank you for your warm welcome Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/22/2022 07:56 am Thank you for adding the photo. It looks a bit larger than the others? Like maybe a "Texas" cent? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 09/22/2022 09:23 am The weight is normal for a zinc cent. Is it possible that it was rubbed with a bit of mercury to achieve this color? If it were the zinc interior - I would expect it to be more matte, not shiny. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Teabaggindragon New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 09/22/2022 7:33 pm Just out of curiosity how many of you checked the Close AM on that 92 just a heart check to see what kind of coin people I'm dealing with here, anyways sounds like we're kind of needing more info on this one how would you guys suggest that go about the wherewithal pertaining to this coin is it even worth pursuing a planchet error on this or perhaps a PCGS error submission I don't know what should I do.... I guess the only real winner here would be some sort of foreign planted error perhaps .. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 09/22/2022 10:11 pm Well in your first post you only mentioned the color or lack of plating not about CAM or WAM. That is what we had focused on. Now that you mention it, I think it is a WAM, but the Machine Doubling between the A and M (and other letters) are appearing to make it look like a CAM, But seeing on how close the initials FG are to the memorial tells me that this is a WAM.
