Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 8:18 pm Looks silver-colored for sure, but almost zero chance to be actual silver. What does this cent weigh?

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 8:47 pm My guess is that it was rested on a small piece of chlorinated paper in the sun for long enough to achieve the result we see here. The ways and methods of achieving artificial toning are almost endless. Always suspicious when I see this sort of thing. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95659 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 9:44 pm nice impaired proof, we have seen zinc cents that have this same color on the center of the coin, I think we cam to a conesus that it was a thin platting issue.
