sherwood315 New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/30/2024 8:54 pm Hi, Need help with newbie question/issue. Do these look like they were replated? I removed them from the flips they were in thinking it was some sort of PVC residue and soaked them overnight in acetone. No change. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 04/30/2024 9:26 pm The strange blotchiness does look more like some kind of glue or paste to me rather than a straight "replating that's gone horribly wrong" scenario - though a glance at the edge should tell you if they're replated or not. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
sherwood315 New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/30/2024 9:43 pm Thanks for the feedback. So, "a glance at the edge", on a replated coin I would see zinc/shiny around the edged, as opposed to just a lip of zinc from the punch process and dull steel look? Report this Post to the Staff

More or less, yes. You should see a clear difference in composition between the edge and the two sides. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/01/2024 04:23 am On a replated cent,the edge would look shiny like the obverse and reverse of a replated coin. On an original cent it would be dull looking.Try using the search box here on CCF for tons of reliable info. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
