Moji New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/19/2024 12:57 am So me and the misses were discussing this coin I found in a roll yeaterdy and she said I should post it and get opinions. 1960, looks like the clad layer is separating from it but it's darn SHINY and still has the cartwheel goin. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks Y'all * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

It appears that your coin was plated, and some of the plating is detaching from it. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19203 Posts	Posted 01/19/2024 07:16 am Plated, yes. The clad distinction doesn't apply to a 1960 Memorial cent. Given the appearance of the rim, the coin may have been prepared to become a jewelry piece. Report this Post to the Staff
