Vipes Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 1:29 pm Found in a coin book I recently picked up. Is there something off with the toning on the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21590 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 2:06 pm Could be a replated cent that has changed colour. Can you supply a photo of the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 2:21 pm Agree, that texturing may be due to rust before it was replated. Report this Post to the Staff
Vipes Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 2:25 pm The edge does look a little suspect. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21590 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 2:27 pm The edge shot shows that it is a replated coin. No extra value as it is considered damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Vipes Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 2:30 pm Thanks for the info. On top of still learning about coins. I know about Wheats the less of all. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 4:00 pm It was reprocessed. Basically turning it into just a Wheat cent. The Surface should not be reflective on these: Original surfaces should look like this. 59.8K posts, getting closer to 60K Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 5:59 pm definitely re-plated. The surface was not properly prepared before plating - you can see the 'orange peal' on the fields.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 6:07 pm Believe me, there was little time spent on preparing these coins before reprocessing. Edited by Coinfrog 10/12/2022 6:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Vipes Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 6:09 pm It's sad to see a coin like this being mistreated. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 3:05 pm I believe there are more re- plated war cents that original. Report this Post to the Staff
