 Going to need a bit better photo to help you. Less glare and properly cropped. As of now,might be a plated coin. John1  |

At this point, I'm thinking plated. Full, large and sharp pics of the obverse and reverse would be very welcome.

@mark, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you please check to see if a strong magnet is attracted to this cent? I agree that it likely was plated after it left the mint, but we might be able to narrow it down a bit with this additional information. Thx.

Please repost with better pictures. These last two are way too blurry and too dark to be useful.

To CCF! Appears to have been plated after it left the U.S. Mint. PMD. Errers and Varietys.
